Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so those traveling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 23:00, which might be tight for late arrivals. The staff, however, are noted for accommodating late check-ins.
  • Early check-out — Check-out is between 08:00 and 10:00, which is earlier than many Western hotels. Guests who prefer a slow morning may find it rushed.
