Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Breakfast can be chaotic at peak times — Some guests found the breakfast area under-managed with limited utensils and bowls, leading to frustration.
- Breakfast quality inconsistent — A minority report stale bread and processed scrambled eggs, so expectations should be moderate.
- Check-in window is narrow — Reception is open from 15:00 to 23:59; arrivals after midnight may face issues.
- No dedicated family rooms mentioned — While cots are available, the room list focuses on king and twin configurations; families may need to plan.
- Price on the higher side for value — With rates from £211 per night, some may question value despite the 8.8 value rating.

8.5Verified guest“The breakfast was such a letdown – tiny selection, stale bread, and weirdly processed scrambled eggs. Plus, they never had enough utensils or bowls. Just a chaotic and frustrating start to the day every time. Honestly, it really spoiled the experience.”
