Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Mixed value concerns — While many guests find the hotel good value, some ratings suggest that expectations for the price point aren't always met.
- Potential overbooking issues — At least one guest was moved to a sister property upon arrival due to overbooking, which can be inconvenient if you expect to stay at the White Lion itself.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available from 14:00 to 23:59, which may be an issue for very late arrivals.
