Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the policy is strictly no pets.
- Check-in window is set — Check-in is from 14:00 to 23:59. If you arrive later than midnight, you'll need to plan ahead – the 24-hour reception might still help, but the window is clear.
- Modest overall rating — With a guest rating of 5.3 out of 10 from 69 reviews, expectations should be set for a no-frills, budget-friendly stay rather than a luxury one.
- Limited room choice — The hotel has just 29 rooms and four types – double/twin, triple, single, and a standard suite. If you need a specific setup, book early.
