Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Parking is public and nearby, not on-site — The hotel has public parking nearby rather than a private car park, which may mean extra walking or limited spaces.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this property is not an option.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is from 14:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight won't be possible.
  • Some rooms may face the street — While courtyard-facing rooms are noted as quiet, rooms on the street side could experience some noise.
