Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-out is early — You'll need to be out by 10:00, which may feel tight if you prefer a slower morning.
- No pets allowed — Travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere, as the property is strictly pet-free.
- Some rooms face the courtyard — While generally pleasant, courtyard-facing rooms may lack the privacy or light of street-side options, depending on your preference.
- Rating slightly below area average — With an overall rating of 8.5 against the area average of 8.7, it's strong but not the top pick in the neighbourhood.
