Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Price point reflects five-star luxury — Rates from GBP 523 per night may be higher than other options in the area, though guests generally feel the quality justifies the cost.
- Mixed feedback on breakfast variety — While many praise the breakfast, one guest felt it could be richer, suggesting the spread may not always meet every expectation.
- Limited soundproofing in some areas — Despite soundproofed rooms being listed, a guest mentioned the location near the tram and street, which could lead to occasional noise for light sleepers.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travellers wanting to bring their animal companions.
