Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Inconsistent breakfast experience for some — While many praise the spread, a couple of lower-rated reviews focus solely on breakfast, suggesting it may not always meet expectations.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-in starts at 14:00 — If you arrive earlier than 2 PM, you may need to wait or use the luggage storage; check-in closes at 23:59.
