Worth weighing

4 to weigh

Premium price tag — Rooms start from £568 per night, which is high for the market. While guests rate value at 9.1, it's still a significant outlay.
No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, which could be tight for late arrivals. The hotel does offer a 24-hour reception, so you won't be locked out, but the official window is limited.
Some mixed reviews on location convenience — While many praise the location, a couple of reviews score it lower (5.4 out of 10), suggesting it might not suit everyone – possibly those wanting more immediate attractions or dining options.
