Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Rooms can be cold — At least one guest found the rooms chilly, suggesting heating might be insufficient in cooler months—though central heating is available.
  • Small scale, limited on-site services — This is an apartment residence, not a full-service hotel—no restaurant, gym, or 24-hour reception. Guests must be comfortable with self-service.
  • Street noise possible — While some rooms are soundproofed, the central location near a jazz bar and busy streets could mean noise for light sleepers, especially in lower floors.
