Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Some rooms are compact — A few guests mention that the rooms are small, though cosy and well-equipped.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 19:00, which may be tight for travellers arriving later in the day.
- Mixed opinions on value — While many find the price reasonable, a few guests rated the experience lower, suggesting expectations on value can vary.
- Pets are not allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals need to look elsewhere.
