Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Room for improvement in some areas — While overall ratings are decent, the 'cat7' category scored just 5.8, suggesting some guests found certain aspects lacking—likely noise, comfort, or maintenance issues.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place—the hotel explicitly prohibits pets.
- Standard amenities, not luxury — With a 3-star rating and no pool or fitness centre listed, the hotel keeps things basic—ideal for a practical stay but not for those expecting resort-style facilities.
- Mixed review scores — Although the average is 7.8, individual reviews range from 6 to 8, with some guests not fully satisfied—the lower scores often relate to the overall experience rather than a single issue.
