Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is limited — Arrivals are only accepted between 15:00 and 22:00, so late evening flights could be a challenge.
- Early check-out time — Check-out is between 08:00 and 10:00, which might feel rushed for a relaxed morning.
- Some guests note noise or lack of views — While most praise the quiet, a few reviews mention ordinary aspects like no view or generic location. One reviewer rated only 5.4, citing 'good space' but not much more.
- Price point is premium — Rates start from £269 per night, which is high for apartment-style lodging, reflecting the central location and self-catering amenities.
