In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • High staff ratings — Guests consistently rate the staff at 9.4, the highest of all categories, indicating attentive and friendly service.
  • Strong service and facilities — With service at 9.1 and facilities at 9.1, the hotel's overall environment is well-regarded, supported by a rooftop pool, sauna, and fitness centre.
  • Compact and personal — With only 7 rooms, the hotel offers a boutique, intimate experience that suits travellers who prefer smaller, quieter properties.
  • Value for money — A value rating of 8.7 and an overall score of 8.7 suggest solid worth, especially given the apartment-style rooms and included amenities.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited room variety — The hotel offers only two room types, both with a king-size bed, which may not suit groups needing twin beds or families with children.
  • No pets allowed — The property explicitly does not permit pets, which could be a drawback for those travelling with animals.
  • Check-out is early — Guests must check out by 10:00, which is earlier than many hotels, potentially requiring an early start on departure day.
  • Dining rating slightly lower — At 8.6, dining scores lower than most other categories, suggesting the food options may not be the hotel's strongest point.
