Strengths
4 reasons to book- Kitchen in every room — Each room comes with a full kitchen including an oven, microwave, refrigerator, and cookware, so you can prepare your own meals.
- On-site parking — A car park is available at the property, which is a genuine convenience in a city where street parking can be tight.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Very small scale — With only 10 rooms, the hotel is intimate, but availability is limited and you may be close to other guests.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this property won't accommodate you.
- Strict checkout time — Checkout is at 10:00, which is earlier than some travellers might prefer, especially after a late night.
- Limited review data — There are no guest reviews yet, so you'll be booking without the usual feedback on noise, service, or comfort.
