Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Heating can be limited — One guest noted the radiator was not very powerful, though it did keep the room warm enough in cold weather.
- Room configuration varies — The Standard Triple and Single rooms list no bed configuration, so what you get may differ from expectations — best to confirm when booking.
- Basic amenities only — The hotel lists no fitness centre, pool, or restaurant beyond breakfast; the amenity list is limited to in-room basics.
