Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Low overall rating — With a 5.3 rating from 779 reviews, this is a budget property with mixed feedback, and scores for dining and value are notably low (5.3 and 6.0 respectively).
- Basic rooms — Rooms are described as simple, with only shower amenities listed; there's no mention of air conditioning or in-room extras beyond tea/coffee.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the policy is no pets.
- Location may not suit everyone — Woodstock is an up-and-coming area, and while it's convenient, it's not the scenic centre – some travellers might prefer a more central or quieter spot.
