Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in hours are limited — You can only check in between 15:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
- No pets allowed — The hotel is strictly pet-free, so you'll need to make other arrangements for four-legged companions.
- Check-out is early — Check-out is between 08:00 and 10:00, which may feel rushed if you're not a morning person.
- Some rooms are compact — Rooms described as 'Small Double' and 'Small Single' suggest that space is at a premium in certain categories.
