Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Car park signage is poor — One guest described navigating the car park to check-in as a nightmare due to a lack of clear signs. Allow extra time if arriving by car.
- Possible street noise — One guest mentioned that traffic noise disrupted their stay, despite the otherwise peaceful setting. Light sleepers may want to request a quieter room.
- Some rooms are compact — A few guests noted that certain rooms, such as the 'cozy' studio, were smaller than expected. Check the specific room type before booking if space is a priority.
