Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 20:00, which may be inconvenient for guests arriving late or with delayed flights.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Mixed comfort and facility scores — Comfort and facilities both rate 7.5 out of 10, lower than the overall score, suggesting some guests may find the rooms noisy or the amenities basic.
  • Price per night from £16 — While the rate is modest, it reflects a basic apartment experience rather than a full-service hotel.
