Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Very small hotel, limited facilities — With only 10 rooms, there's no on-site restaurant, gym, or pool – the focus is purely on the rooms and basic amenities.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in window ends early — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 22:00, which could be an issue for late arrivals.
- Potential for street noise — Located on a main road in the old town, some rooms facing the street may experience traffic noise, though reviews don't specifically mention it.
