Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Upper-floor access with limited lift — The property is on the 3rd and 4th floors. While a lift exists, some guests noted the need for a flashlight in hallways, suggesting dimly lit corridors.
  • Small scale, limited room types — With only 10 rooms and a single apartment type (three single beds), the hotel may not suit those wanting a standard double room or more variety.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, which may be a limitation for travellers with animals.
  • Mixed dining rating — While dining isn't a primary focus, the dining rating (7.9) is slightly lower than other categories, and guests often opt for nearby cafés for breakfast.
