Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms and cleanliness scoring lower — The lowest rating category is Rooms and cleanliness at 6 out of 10, suggesting some guests found issues with room upkeep or comfort.
  • Dining can be hit or miss — Dining scores 7, and one reviewer noted they didn't eat at the hotel, so the food experience may not be a highlight for everyone.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
  • No parking on site — The hotel does not list parking, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking or use the tram from the airport.
