Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, you'll need to look elsewhere—the hotel's policy is no pets on site.
  • Limited parking — The hotel has a car park, but given its second-floor location in a busy area, you may want to confirm availability in advance.
  • Street views only — Economy double rooms face the street, which might mean some noise depending on the time of day.
  • Check-in window is tight — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:00, so late arrivals could be a problem if you're not flexible.
