Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Mixed cleanliness and comfort — While some guests found rooms 'tidy' and 'cozy', the overall rating of 5.8 and low guest reviews suggest inconsistent housekeeping or comfort levels.
- Basic kitchen equipment — One review noted the kitchen was basic with limited utensils, so self-catering may be limited to simple meals.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 18:00, which may be inconvenient if you arrive outside these hours.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this property won't accommodate you.
- Below-average guest rating — With a rating of 5.8 out of 10 from 892 reviews, the property doesn't consistently meet expectations compared to the area average of 8.
