Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are basic — Expect simple, functional accommodation rather than premium finishes. Guest ratings for rooms are the lowest category, and reviews describe it as 'straightforward'.
- Value rating lags — While many guests find it fair for the price, the value score is on the lower side, suggesting some may find it lacking in extras relative to cost.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place – the hotel operates a strict no-pets policy.
- Limited food options on-site — There's a snack bar and lounge, but no full restaurant. Breakfast is mentioned by guests, but the main dining happens elsewhere.
