Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Facilities score lower — While rooms and service are strong, the facilities category sits at 6.8 – a reminder that common areas or extras like the pool may not match the room standard.
- No pets and no smoking — The hotel is smoke-free throughout and pets are not allowed, which may be a limitation for some travellers.
- Reception closes for check-in at midnight — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals – especially after a long flight – will need to plan around that window.
