What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms can feel small — One guest called their room 'a little bit small', and the budget double is compact for the price.
- Price for what you get — A few guests felt the cost was high for the class of hotel and the room size, even when the location was praised.
- No pets allowed — The hotel doesn't permit pets, so travellers with animals need to look elsewhere.
