Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Inconsistent staff friendliness — While most guests praise the staff, one review mentions some staff were very unfriendly, which could affect your stay depending on who you interact with.
  • Small hotel with limited facilities — With only 10 rooms, there are no on-site facilities like a restaurant or bar, and breakfast may not be included. The hotel offers basic amenities, and the breakfast isn't mentioned as a highlight in all reviews.
  • No parking or onsite parking information — The hotel does not list parking, so if you arrive by car, you'll need to rely on public parking or other options. The hotel offers a paid airport shuttle instead.
