Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small property, limited rooms — With only 12 rooms, availability may be limited, and the hotel may feel intimate rather than expansive.
- No pets allowed — Guests traveling with pets will need to consider other accommodations.
- Check-in window ends at 23:59 — Late arrivals after midnight may face difficulties, as check-in is only until 23:59.
- Noise potential in non-soundproofed areas — While rooms are soundproofed, some common areas or the rooftop bar could be lively, and general street noise may still be present.
