Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Single-room property — With only one room on offer, availability is limited and the experience is more like a private studio than a full hotel. Expect a more intimate, less anonymous stay.
  • Comfort rating is lower — Comfort scored 7.4, notably below other categories, which may indicate some guests found the bed, noise, or temperature less than ideal despite the room's features.
  • Check-in window is fixed — Check-in is only from 13:00 to 23:00. Late arrivals after 11pm will need to plan ahead, as there's no 24-hour reception mentioned.
