–
Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Some guests find it less luxurious than expected — While most praise the design, a minority feel the hotel falls short of its 'art boutique' marketing, describing it as basic for the price.
- No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
- Limited room count — With only nine rooms, availability can be scarce, especially during peak times, and the intimate scale may not suit everyone.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — Late arrivals after 11 pm are not accommodated, which could be inconvenient for those on overnight flights.
- Street noise in some rooms — Although soundproofing is praised, the hotel sits on a busy street, and guests note that windows are essential for keeping out noise.
