Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in limited to 12:00–22:00 — Arrivals outside this window will need to arrange something in advance, as the property does not list a 24-hour reception.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Basic room presentation — While clean, some guests found the room itself 'nothing special' and noted the lack of window shutters and a shared hallway as minor drawbacks.
  • Street-facing noise potential — Being on the riverside promenade, the area is lively with bars and restaurants nearby, which could mean ambient noise in the evenings.
