In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Small hotel with limited facilities — With only 40 rooms, there is no mention of extensive on-site facilities like a gym or spa. The focus is on the rooms and location.
  • Check-in only from 16:00 — If you arrive earlier, you may need to wait. Check-in starts at 4 PM, which is later than some hotels.
  • Possible overnight noise — One guest noted construction work taking place overnight in the area. If you're sensitive to noise, it might be worth requesting a quieter room.
