Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Street noise from a nearby nightclub — Front-facing rooms may hear noise, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, requiring windows closed. Asking for a back room may help.
  • First impression of the surrounding street — The street may look 'seedy' at first glance, and the entrance is easy to miss; the hotel itself is excellent once inside.
  • Rooms and cleanliness rated lower than other aspects — While guests generally praise room comfort, the rating for rooms and cleanliness is lower compared to location and service, suggesting occasional inconsistencies.
  • Check-in starts at 16:00 — Latest check-in is by midnight; those arriving earlier may need to wait or store luggage.
