Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Some rooms share bathrooms — The standard Double Room does not list a private bathroom; some guests note communal toilets, though they find them very clean.
- No onsite parking — Parking is not listed in the policies—guests driving may need to find public parking nearby.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 21:00, which may be tight for late arrivals.
- Occasional mixed service — While most guests rave about staff, one review mentions a 'hostile' member, suggesting service can be inconsistent.
