Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness could be improved — The rating for rooms and cleanliness is the lowest of all categories at 6/10, suggesting that some guests have found standards inconsistent. While no specific criticism appears in the reviews, the score points to a weaker area.
- Pool rules and gym hours — One guest notes that the pool requires a swimming cap and that the gym opens late in the morning, which may be a drawback for early risers or those who prefer a flexible fitness schedule.
- Dining could be more varied — While the breakfast is generally praised, a couple of reviewers note that the variety could be improved. This is a minor issue but worth knowing if you're staying for several days.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere or make other arrangements.
