Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small scale—only 12 rooms — The hotel is intimate, but availability may be limited, and on-site facilities are constrained.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this property isn't suitable—pets are not permitted.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals past midnight can't be accommodated.
- Value rating slightly below average — While the overall rating is decent, the value score is the lowest category, suggesting some guests felt price-to-experience could be better.
