In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Breakfast worth getting up for — Guests repeatedly rate the breakfast buffet as excellent, with a 9/10 in the dining category and mentions of good vegetarian options and free coffee and tea in the lobby.
- Free parking in a garage — One reviewer highlighted free garage parking, a rarity for a hotel so close to a city centre.

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Location is a bit out of the centre — The hotel is near the station and buses, but the historic centre is a ride or a longer walk away. Most guests relied on the hop-on bus.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this property isn't an option.
- Check-in window closes late — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight may need to make arrangements.
