In brief

What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • No pets allowed — The guesthouse does not permit pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Mixed reviews from families — One family rated their stay 6/10, mentioning challenges with young kids; the lively nightlife area may not suit all.
  • No on-site parking — The property does not list parking, making it better suited for guests using public transport.
