Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Comfort rating is below average — The comfort score sits at 7.4, noticeably lower than other categories, which could indicate firmer beds or less plush furnishings.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this isn't an option — the policy clearly states pets are not permitted.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:00, so if you arrive late you'd need to arrange that in advance.
