Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Breakfast variety is limited — While the breakfast buffet is decent, some guests found it repetitive across days.
  • Value for money is a mixed bag — The price-to-quality ratio didn't impress everyone, with Value scoring lower than other categories.
  • Rooms may have an extra bed, not a triple — Some guests booked a triple but received a double with an extra bed, which could be a consideration for larger groups.
