Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited on-site comfort — A category rated 6.5 suggests some aspects of the stay—likely shared facilities or basic furnishings—fall short of the rest.
  • No pets allowed — The property has a strict no-pets policy, so you’ll need to make other arrangements for your animal.
  • Restricted check-in window — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 22:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • Shared kitchen and no smoking — The kitchen is shared, and the entire property is non-smoking, which may not suit every traveller.
