Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Limited room count and possible noise — With only 9 rooms, the property is small; this may mean limited availability, and the central location could bring street noise, though no specific complaints are noted.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 21:00, which may be inconvenient for travelers arriving earlier or later. Check-out is at 10:00.
  • No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby.
