Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast not included for all guests — At least one guest mentioned a lack of breakfast during their stay, suggesting it may not be automatically included in every rate.
- Pets not allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a limitation for travellers with animals.
- Set check-in and check-out times — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, and check-out is at 11:00. Those arriving late at night or wanting a lie-in may need to plan around this.
- Street noise possible — Being on a bustling pedestrian street is great for access, but could mean some noise for rooms facing the street, especially with the restaurant vantage point.
