Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast is limited — The hotel's breakfast, served at a nearby coffee shop, has been called lacking in variety. Some guests choose to eat elsewhere.
- Small property, limited facilities — As a 3-star boutique with a small scale, there aren't extensive on-site amenities beyond the pool and basic room comforts.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — If you arrive late, you may need to arrange access, as check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:00.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
