Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Street noise in some rooms — Windows overlooking the street may let in noise, though one reviewer noted the room stayed quiet.
- Rooms and cleanliness rated lower — While functional, the rooms score lower than location and dining, suggesting they are not a highlight.
- No pets allowed — Travellers with animals cannot stay here.
- Price on the higher side — Starting at £300 per night, it may feel steep for a 3-star property, though the location helps justify it.
