Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness could improve — The lowest-rated category, 'Rooms and cleanliness', scores 7, suggesting some guests find the accommodation less polished than the rest of the experience.
- Street noise possible — While some rooms overlook a quiet courtyard, the hotel is on a lively street with a daily market, so front-facing rooms may experience noise.
- Limited room variety — With only 29 rooms, availability may be tight during peak travel seasons, and the room types are relatively few.
- Check-in window — Check-in is available only from 15:00 to 23:59, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals unless the 24-hour reception can assist with luggage.
