Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 12:00 and 19:00. If you arrive outside these hours, you may need to plan ahead.
  • Cleanliness and room comfort can vary — While most guests were happy with cleanliness, one review noted the bed was not comfortable. The General rating of 7.9 is the lowest category, suggesting occasional inconsistencies.
  • No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted on the premises, so those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
