Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Modest overall guest rating — With a 7.3 score from 163 reviews, it's a serviceable budget choice rather than a top-rated stay.
  • Small entrance can be tricky — One guest found the inner door too narrow for large backpacks, needing staff assistance to get through.

  • Check-in window is late — Check-in only opens at 3 PM, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals after a long journey.

The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to help. Rooms are comfortable and well-kept, a quiet spot to rest after sightseeing. But the highlight was the breakfast – freshly made pancakes by a friendly cook.”
