Worth weighing

  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so plan accordingly if you travel with an animal.
  • Check-in window is limited — Reception is available 24 hours, but check-in is only from 14:00 to 22:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals.
  • Type is guest house, not full hotel — With two room types listed, it's a smaller property, so some larger-hotel facilities like a gym or restaurant are not mentioned.
