Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basic rooms — Rooms are simple and shared bathrooms are common. The 'Rooms' rating category is the lowest at 5.7, and some guests may find the accommodation dated or sparse.
  • Value rating is below average — Despite the low price, guests scored 'Value' at just 5.6, suggesting that while the location is great, the overall experience may not always meet expectations.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 18:00, a narrow three-hour window that may be inconvenient for guests arriving later or earlier.
  • No pets allowed — Travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere, as the hotel has a strict no-pets policy.
