Worth weighing
5 to weigh- No on-site parking — Parking is not listed, so travellers arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so guests travelling with animals must look elsewhere.
- Limited room types — Only two room categories are offered — a budget double and a regular double — which may suit a shorter stay more than a long one.
- Check-in window starts at 13:00 — Early arrivals will need to wait or plan around the 13:00 check-in time, though express and VIP options are available.
- Some reviews mention noise from the street — A few guests noted that rooms facing the street can hear traffic or city sounds, despite the soundproofing.
