Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site restaurant or bar — The hotel doesn't list dining facilities; guests rely on nearby restaurants and their own kitchens.
  • Limited common areas — As a 6-room property, there's no extensive lobby or lounge; the garden is the main shared space.
  • Noise potential from nightlife — The property advertises karaoke and a night club, which could affect the quiet atmosphere for some guests.
  • Extra bed may be in corridor — One guest noted the extra bed was placed in the entrance corridor of the room, which could feel less private.
