Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site dining — The hotel does not have a restaurant or breakfast service, though rooms are equipped for self-catering and there are many eateries nearby.
- Strict no-pets policy — Pets are not allowed at the property, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in limited to after 15:00 — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 23:59, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals, although express check-in/out is available.
- Facilities rated lower than other aspects — While comfort and staff score very high, facilities are rated 8.1, the lowest category. This may reflect the limited on-site amenities rather than a specific issue.

Little extras like a seating area, ironing set, and work desk were a bonus, and the staff were extremely friendly. Service was spot on, making the hotel feel modern and well designed.”
