In brief
What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Low comfort rating — Comfort scores 6.6 out of 10, the second-lowest category. Some guests mentioned an odd smell in the room, and the facilities are basic.
- Facilities rating is weakest — Facilities score 6.0, the lowest category. Don't expect extras beyond the basics – no pool, gym, or on-site restaurant.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is strictly between 16:00 and 19:00, which may be inconvenient if you arrive later. Plan your arrival accordingly.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
