Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Value for money is a concern — The value rating is the lowest at 6.8, suggesting some guests feel the price doesn't fully match the experience.
- Room size can be small — The Small Double Room only has a single bed, which suits solo travellers but may feel cramped for couples.

- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with a furry friend.
