Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can be compact — The budget single and twin rooms are noted as tight, though guests say they have what's needed for a short stay.
- Some rooms share bathrooms — Not all rooms have ensuite facilities — the budget single and twin room options come with shared bathroom access.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 23:30, so late arrivals after midnight would need to make other arrangements.
- Breakfast cost adds up — While praised, the buffet breakfast is an extra cost — one guest paid £72 for it, which may be steep for some budgets.
