Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Potential early-morning construction noise — Several guests mentioned building work starting early nearby. It didn't disturb their stays, but light sleepers may want to be aware.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is strictly between 15:00 and 23:59, and check-out between 05:00 and 11:00, which may be tight for some travel schedules.
  • Value rating lower than service — While the overall rating is strong, the Value category (8.9) is slightly below Service (9.0), suggesting some guests found pricing less exceptional than the service.
