Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Very small hotel — With only eight rooms, availability is limited and the hotel may feel cramped for guests expecting a larger property.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
- Check-out starts early — Check-out begins at 06:00, which might be inconvenient for guests who like a slow morning.
