Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited room types — Only a Deluxe Room and a Deluxe Suite are listed, so options are relatively few. The suite is the only one with a balcony and courtyard view.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:30 and 20:30, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals. Check-out is between 08:00 and 10:00.
  • No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted, which might be a drawback for travellers with animals.
  • Value for money varies — While many praise the value, a few guests rated their stay lower, and the price_from of £2 per night is exceptionally low – possibly misleading or a teaser rate.
