–
Worth weighing
5 to weigh- No on-site parking — There’s no parking listed at the property, so driving guests will need to find alternatives—check with the hotel for nearby options.
- High price for a 2-star class — Rates from £139 per night may feel steep for a 2-star hotel, even with the spa and location factored in.
- Some reviews note average breakfast — While most praise the breakfast variety, one review described it as merely 'satisfactory'—expect volume over refinement.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight will need to plan ahead.
- Street-view rooms can be noisy — Economy rooms overlook the street; although soundproofing is listed, light sleepers may want earplugs.
