Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Check-in is only 13:30–18:00 — Arrivals outside this window will need to plan around the strict check-in time, which could be inconvenient for late trains or flights.
- Some balconies may be closed off — One guest mentioned a balcony that was inaccessible, so if a balcony view is key, it's worth confirming the specific room type.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accommodate pets, which may be a limitation for travellers with animals.
