Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The residence doesn't list any parking. If you're driving, you'll need to arrange nearby public parking.
  • Limited in-room amenities — Rooms are basic – no air conditioning mentioned, and each room only lists a shower and heating. Some may find the facilities minimal.
  • Small property, fewer services — With just 8 rooms, there's no restaurant, gym, or spa – it's purely a place to sleep. Guests looking for full-service hotels may be disappointed.
