Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited on-site facilities — The hotel keeps things simple: a restaurant, a bar, and rooms. No mention of a gym, pool, or spa, which some 4-star travellers might expect.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 23:59, so if you arrive late, you'll need to make alternative arrangements.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, so you'll need to leave furry friends at home.
- Potential for noise due to central location — Being in the city centre near a train station could mean street or transit noise, though the Junior Suite was noted as quiet.
