In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

  • Friendly and attentive staff — The host and team are frequently praised for being warm, responsive, and accommodating – several guests appreciated being allowed to leave their suitcase after check-out.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — The double room listed has a shared bathroom, which may not suit all travellers, though guests found them clean and easy to use.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the hotel has a strict no-pets policy.
  • Public parking nearby, not on-site — Parking is available but it's public parking nearby, so you'll need to find a spot on the street rather than having a dedicated hotel car park.
