Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Facilities are on the basic side — While the hotel covers the essentials, the facilities rating is the lowest category, suggesting limited on-site extras beyond the coffee shop and business centre.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travellers wanting to bring their animals.
  • Check-out is early — With check-out at 10:00, guests who prefer a later morning departure may find the timing restrictive.
