Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small scale means limited facilities — With only 18 rooms, the hotel has no gym, restaurant, or bar beyond breakfast service, so guests seeking extensive amenities may need to look elsewhere.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which could be a limitation for travellers with animals.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 13:30 and 22:00, so late arrivals may need to plan ahead.
  • Breakfast is simple — While praised for value, the breakfast is basic—yogurt, toast, and similar items—and may not suit those expecting a full cooked spread.
