Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The hotel operates a strict no-pets policy, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited room information — Only one room type is listed — a Superior Double with a double bed — so those needing twin beds, family rooms, or suites may find options limited.
  • Check-in window closes late — Check-in is available until 23:59, which is generous, but if you plan to arrive after midnight you'll need to coordinate with the 24-hour reception (which is available).
  • No breakfast information — The property does not list any dining options or breakfast service in the data, so guests should plan accordingly.
