Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Price point is high — Rates start at £386 per night, reflecting the 5-star status and central location – a significant investment for budget-conscious travellers.
  • General rating trails the rest — While rooms and service are rated 9.2, the general experience (8.2) and value (8.9) are slightly lower, suggesting some guests find the overall package not fully aligned with the premium price.
  • Late check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, which may be restrictive for late-night arrivals or early flight landings without prior arrangement.
