Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Very compact rooms — Rooms are described as compact and neat, which suits short stays but may feel tight for families or longer visits.
- Check-in closes at 23:00 — Arrivals are only accepted between 15:00 and 23:00, so late-night flights or plans need careful timing.
- No pets and no smoking on site — The hotel is strictly no-pets and fully non-smoking, which may not suit everyone.
- Breakfast not a guaranteed amenity — One reviewer mentions a continental breakfast, but it isn't listed among the hotel's official amenities, so it may vary or be an extra.
