Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms and cleanliness are rated slightly lower — While still decent, this category scores 8, which suggests the rooms are comfortable but not a standout feature compared to the location and breakfast.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a furry companion, this hotel won't work – the policy is clear that pets are not permitted.
  • Paid airport shuttle only — The hotel offers an airport shuttle, but it comes at a cost. Guests looking for a complimentary transfer may need to budget extra.
  • Limited room variety for solo travellers — The single room is available, but most options are based on king-size beds, which may not suit all solo guests.
