Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, which may be limiting for late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Mixed reviews on room quality — While many praise the rooms, a few reviews are brief and less detailed, suggesting that experiences can vary.
- Price may be higher than local average — With rates from £47 per night, it sits at a premium for the area, and the 8.2 rating is decent but not top-tier for the city (area average is 10.4).
