Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities are basic — The Facilities rating is just 6.2, the lowest category, so expect limited common areas and minimal extras beyond the shared kitchen and TV room.
- Service can be uneven — Service scores 7.4, below the overall 7.8 rating, suggesting occasional slow response or check-in hiccups.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the policy clearly states no pets.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in only runs from 14:00 to 23:30, so late-night arrivals (past midnight) will need to plan ahead.
