Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited number of rooms — With only 7 rooms, availability may be limited, and the hotel may feel less anonymous than larger properties.
- Check-out is early — Guests must check out by 10:00, which may be earlier than some prefer.
- No pets allowed — Travellers with pets cannot bring them, which may be a drawback for some.
- Mixed reviews on staff and general experience — While many praise the staff, the Staff rating is lower (6.9) and the General rating is 7.6, suggesting some inconsistency.
