Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Small guest house, limited facilities — With only 8 rooms, the property is compact. There's no gym or pool, and the bar and restaurant are the main common areas. Guests looking for extensive hotel amenities may find it limited.
- Lower rating for comfort and value — While the staff and location score high, comfort (7.5) and value (7.7) are rated lower, suggesting some guests find the basic rooms a bit spartan for the price.
- Potential noise from the bar below — The hotel sits above a bar, and while the street is pedestrian-only, the bar could generate noise, especially in the evenings. Some guests mention the room was quiet, but this may vary.
- Strict check-in and check-out times — Check-in is from 2 PM to 11:59 PM, and check-out is between 8 AM and 11 AM. If you arrive late or need a late checkout, it may not be possible.
- No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted at the property, which could be a drawback for travelers with animals.
