Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can be small — One guest noted the room was small but cosy, so don't expect spacious accommodation—focus on the comfort and location instead.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in only runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight may need to arrange a different plan.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, you'll need to look elsewhere—the guesthouse policy doesn't permit animals.
- Some guest ratings are modest — While the overall score is 8.6, a few reviews rated their stay in the 6-7 range, often for reasons like small rooms or work-focused trips.
