Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Noise from nearby nightlife — The lively location right next to a nightclub means potential noise, though some guests appreciated the convenience.
  • Limited on-site parking — The hotel does not provide its own parking; guests must use public parking nearby, which may be an extra cost or require planning.
  • Small number of rooms — With only 25 rooms, availability may be limited, and the intimate scale means fewer communal amenities than larger hotels.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel's pet policy is not pet-friendly, so guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
