Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is short — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 22:00, with self-service after hours and no receptionist for late arrivals — a challenge for late flights.
- Self-check-in can be finicky — One guest found the self-service process not working smoothly, which could complicate arrival for some travellers.
- No pets allowed — The hotel is smoke-free and does not accept pets, so plan accordingly if travelling with animals.
- Cleanliness can be inconsistent — One guest arrived to find the room uncleaned from the previous visitor, with stains on the duvet — a rare but notable lapse.
