Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small scale — With only 13 rooms, the hotel may feel intimate, but availability can be limited and there's less on-site amenity space.
- Check-in window is fixed — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight aren't accommodated.
- No on-site parking mentioned — There's no parking listed, so you may need to rely on public transport or paid city parking.
- No pets allowed — The hotel doesn't accept pets, which limits options for those travelling with animals.
