In brief

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast can be limited — At least one guest found the breakfast not very rich, though the location compensated.
- Small guest house with only seven rooms — Given the limited number of rooms, availability may be tight and the atmosphere is more like a B&B than a full-service hotel.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, and smoking is not permitted on site.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 12:00 to 22:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
