Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Check-in window is fixed — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:00, so late-night arrivals may need to plan ahead.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travelling with animals won’t be possible.
- Limited room variety — Only two one-bedroom apartment types are on offer, each with a king-size bed – fine for couples but not for larger groups or those wanting more space.
