Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small property, limited facilities — With only nine rooms, there is no restaurant or fitness centre, and the business centre is basic.
- Check-in window ends at 21:00 — If you're arriving late, you may need to arrange an alternative. The front desk is not staffed after 9 PM.
- Early check-out time — Check-out is between 9 and 10 AM, which may feel rushed for some guests.
- Mixed value rating — While many guests find it good value, the 'Value' category scores lower than others, suggesting some may find the price high for the class.
