Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities score is the weak point — The hotel's facilities rating sits at 6.8, noticeably below its other scores – expectations for on-site amenities should be modest.
- Very small hotel — With only 6 rooms, the hotel may feel limited if you want larger common areas or more on-site services.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in window is tight — Check-in is between 14:00 and 23:59, with no late arrival option mentioned – plan your arrival carefully.
