Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking among its amenities, which could be a consideration if you plan to drive in the city centre.
- Pets not allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hotel won't accommodate—pets are explicitly not allowed.
- Non-smoking property only — The entire hotel is non-smoking, which is great for some but a restriction if you prefer to smoke indoors.
- Mixed guest ratings on value — While many call it good value, some reviews rate it lower, suggesting that for some the experience didn't fully match expectations at the price point.
