In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

  • Well-equipped shared kitchen — The kitchen includes a stove, microwave, washing machine, and cookware. Multiple reviews call it well-equipped and a plus for self-catering.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small property, limited facilities — With only six rooms, there is no on-site restaurant or bar, and the guest rating for facilities is the lowest category at 7.0.
  • No pets allowed — The policy explicitly prohibits pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Single and double room options list shared bathroom, which may not suit all travellers, though rooms have a sink to help with congestion.
  • Check-in window is strict — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals need to plan accordingly.
