Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request specific check-out timing and pay the late fee in advance if you need extra time.

  • 02

    Use a luggage storage service nearby, as the property has no luggage storage.

  • 03

    Factor in the £350 damage deposit and pre-check-in ID upload-complete these before arrival.

  • 04

    Choose a room on a lower floor if stairs are a concern-the building has no lift.
