Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this property won't accommodate you.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive after midnight, you'll need to plan ahead.
  • Small-scale property — With a handful of room types and a single business centre, this is a no-frills stay rather than a resort-style experience.
  • Soundproofing may vary — While rooms are soundproofed, the lively street below could still bring some noise depending on your room's position.
