Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Modest facilities — Facilities score is the lowest category at 5.5, suggesting the hotel is basic with no major extras beyond the essentials.
- Limited on-site amenities — The hotel is small (26 rooms) and does not have a full restaurant or bar, but does offer vending machines and a snack bar.
- Check-in window may be tight — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:30, so late arrivals after 22:30 could be problematic unless arranged otherwise.
- Inconsistent comfort ratings — Comfort score is a moderate 7.5, and while many guests liked the beds, a few found the single beds too small for two people.
