Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 18:30 and 21:00, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals or those with late flights.
  • Early check-out time — Check-out is at 09:00, earlier than many hotels, so plan your morning accordingly.
  • No pets allowed — Despite one guest mentioning traveling with a dog, the official policy prohibits pets, so confirm directly before booking if you plan to bring one.
  • Dining options limited on-site — While breakfast is provided, there is no full restaurant or bar, and the shared kitchen is available for guest use.
