Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dining ratings are moderate — The dining category scores 7 out of 10, which is lower than the room and service scores, suggesting breakfast and restaurant experiences may not fully match the luxury standard.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 21:00, which may be inconvenient for guests arriving later in the evening.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Premium pricing — Rates start at £790 per night, which is a significant investment for a city stay, even with the 5-star amenities.
