Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Reception is only open from 2 PM to 8 PM for check-in, so if you're arriving later you'll need to plan ahead – there's no 24-hour desk.
- Early check-out time — Check-out is between 8 AM and 10 AM, which is earlier than many hotels – you won't be able to linger in the morning.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place – the hotel has a strict no-pets policy.
- No lift and possible noise — The hotel is a traditional guesthouse, so there's no lift – you may need to carry bags upstairs. As it's on a main tourist street, some noise from the seafront may be heard, but the location is generally described as peaceful.
