Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 16:00 and 19:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Certain rooms have access to shared bathroom facilities rather than private en-suites.
- Low room and service ratings — Guest scores for rooms and service are below the local average, suggesting some inconsistency in comfort and hospitality.
- No pets and non-smoking only — The property does not allow pets and has a strict no-smoking policy, which may be limiting for some guests.
- Small property, limited capacity — With only 10 rooms, availability is limited, and the intimate size means fewer on-site facilities.
