In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book

  • Friendly and attentive staff — Several reviewers highlight the helpfulness and hospitality of the team, going out of their way to make stays comfortable, even suggesting the rooms felt brand new because of their care.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Low guest rating overall — With an overall rating of 6.2 out of 10 from 1,702 reviews, and a Value score of 5.9, the property doesn't consistently meet expectations for all guests. One reviewer described a 'terrible experience' despite positives.
  • Rooms show wear and inconsistency — While some rooms are praised as new, others may fall short — the Rooms category scores only 6.3, suggesting some guests find the furnishings or upkeep disappointing.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 14:30 to 22:30, which could be restrictive for late arrivals. The policy is stated clearly, but it's worth planning around.
