Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Moderate value for the price — While the location and facilities are strong, the rooms and service score slightly lower. Some may find the starting rate of £424 for the class a talking point.
- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking among its amenities, so guests arriving by car will need to look for public car parks in the city centre.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 23:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
