Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Some rooms feel small at the from-price — The Comfort category is the hotel's lowest guest score at 7.9, and one guest said the room was too small for the price, with space lacking through the property. The from-price is GBP 237 per night.
  • The lift stops below the top floor — A guest placed on the third floor found the lift only reached the second floor, with no staff around to help. Anyone who struggles with stairs should request a lower floor at booking.
  • Checkout is early at 10:00 — Guests need to be out by 10:00, and check-in is limited to 14:00–23:59. This fixed window leaves little flexibility for late check-out or very late arrivals.
  • Pets are not allowed — The hotel's policy is no pets, so travellers with animals will need to make other arrangements.
