In brief

What works, what to weigh

Strengths

4 reasons to book

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Dining scores below the rest — The dining category rates 5/10, and the breakfast described in one review is a simple spread of yoghurt, wine or a snack and toast.
  • Rooms and cleanliness score 6/10 — Although individual guests praise clean rooms, the aggregated rating for this category is the hotel’s second-weakest.
  • Check-in window ends at 21:00 — If you plan to arrive in the evening, note that check-in runs only from 14:00 to 21:00.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel’s policy is no pets, so you’ll need other arrangements if you travel with an animal.
