Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hotel won't accommodate them.
- Check-in is in the afternoon — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so an early arrival may mean waiting or storing luggage.
- Dining rated lower than other aspects — While breakfast gets praise, the Dining category scores a 7, suggesting the overall food experience may not match the high standard of the rooms and location.
- Some rooms have no balcony — Standard Rooms are listed without a balcony, so guests in those rooms miss the outdoor space that other reviewers enjoyed.
