Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:30 and 21:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
- No pets allowed — The property is strictly non-smoking and does not accept pets, which may not suit all travellers.
- Shared facilities during renovations — At least one guest had to use a downstairs bathroom during minor renovation work.
- Basic economy rooms — The Economy Double Room has a bunk bed and no air conditioning, which may be less comfortable in warm weather.
