What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only possible from 13:00 to 19:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with a furry companion.
  • Not the cheapest for solo travellers — Prices from £96 per night may feel steep for a single room, though the high value rating suggests most guests find it worth it.
  • Public-area Wi-Fi only — Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas, but the description doesn't specify in-room Wi-Fi, which could be a limitation.
