Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No elevator — The building has no lift, but staff are available to help carry bags to higher floors.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 20:00, so arriving later may require planning.
- Comfort rating is low — Guest comfort scored 5.0 out of 10, suggesting some may find the beds or soundproofing less than ideal.
- Limited on-site parking — No parking is listed, and the central location means guests likely rely on public transport or paid parking nearby.
