Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you’re travelling with an animal, this isn’t the place – the policy clearly states pets are not permitted.
- No on-site parking — There’s no parking mentioned, so guests arriving by car may need to use nearby public parking or rely on the paid airport shuttle and car hire.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is available from 14:00 to 23:59 only – if you arrive late at night, you’ll need to plan for that.
- 2-star simplicity — This is a no-frills property – don’t expect extensive facilities like a pool or gym. The strengths lie in the basics done well.
