Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Low overall guest rating — With a 5.8 rating from 463 reviews and low scores for rooms and value, expectations should be moderate.
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — The Family Shared Bathroom Room and Shared Bathroom Double Room require using communal facilities, which may not suit everyone.
  • Limited parking — Parking is off-site rather than at the property, so you may need to arrange parking separately.
  • Strict check-in and check-out windows — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 22:00, and check-out is between 08:00 and 10:00, leaving little flexibility.
