In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Two-star facilities — This is a budget property – don't expect the amenities of a luxury hotel. Rooms are clean and comfortable, but the building is modest.
  • Check-in only after 14:00 — Standard check-in starts at 14:00 and runs until 23:59. If you arrive earlier, you may need to wait or use luggage storage.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
