Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The property enforces a strict no-pets policy, which may be a limitation for travelers with animals.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late-night arrivals.
  • Shared facilities in some rooms — Several room types, like the Standard and Economy rooms, do not list a private bathroom, meaning guests may need to use shared facilities.
  • Compact guesthouse scale — With only 17 rooms, the property may feel limited in terms of on-site amenities and space compared to larger hotels.
