Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dining rating is lower than other categories — The hotel's dining category scores 6 out of 10, notably below its room and location scores, suggesting the restaurant may not match the rest of the stay.

- Pets are not allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this hotel isn't an option, as no pets are permitted on the property.
- Price point may be high for some — With rates starting at £478 per night, it's a premium option, and the price/service category scores 8, which is good but not exceptional.
