Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Comfort score comes in low — The overall guest rating is a strong 8.7, but the Comfort category sits at just 5.0 — markedly lower than every other rated area. Travellers for whom comfort is decisive may want to weigh this before booking.
- Restricted check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:30 and 19:30, with check-out at 10:00. If your arrival is outside those hours, the timing could be tight.
- No on-site parking listed — The amenity list includes no parking, so guests arriving by car will need to confirm options with the property or plan for city parking.
