Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited facilities compared to larger hotels — The property is small with shared spaces, and amenities are basic. The facilities rating is notably lower than other categories.
- Check-in is restricted to a short window — Check-in is only available from 13:30 to 16:30, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No on-site parking — There is no parking mentioned, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby.
- Some rooms may feel basic — While standard apartments are well laid out, the room options are limited and some are quite compact given the small number of rooms.
