About

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Facilities score is low — The hotel’s facilities rating is just 4.5, which suggests limited on-site amenities beyond the essentials.
  • Value rating is modest — With a value score of 7.7 and rates around 164 GBP, some guests may find the price stretched for what’s offered.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel doesn’t accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 17:30, which may be restrictive if you arrive later in the day.
  • No on-site parking listed — There’s no parking information provided, so guests driving may need to find public parking nearby.

“I had a very pleasant stay. The hotel is recently refurbished, and its position near several Christmas markets was ideal. We enjoyed a modern room with two double beds, and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was healthy and tasty with a good range of options. Service was excellent overall, and easy check-in was a bonus.”
