Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Value rating lags behind — At £82 per night, some guests may feel the price is on the higher side for the room size and facilities offered.
- Shared bathroom in dormitory — The dormitory option doesn't include private facilities; guests looking for en-suite should book the Twin or King rooms.
- Limited check-out window — Check-out ends at 11:00, which may be early for some, and there's no mention of late check-out options.
