Worth weighing
4 to weigh- 2-star simplicity — Rooms are clean and comfortable but basic; no air conditioning and limited in-room amenities beyond a kettle and TV.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
- No pets allowed — The property doesn't accept pets, which may rule it out for some travellers.
- Compact room sizes — Several guest rooms are described as 'small' or 'budget', and some double rooms have a single bed – worth checking the exact layout.
