Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The hotel does not offer parking, so guests arriving by car will need to find public options nearby — not ideal for drivers.
- Limited facilities — There's no gym, pool, or restaurant; the hotel keeps things simple with vending machines and a lounge area, which may not suit guests expecting more amenities.
- Check-in window starts at 13:00 — Check-in is only from 13:00 to 23:59, so early arrivals can't access their room until afternoon — factor this into your travel plans.
- Pets not allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for those travelling with animals.
