Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms may feel compact — Some guests found the rooms, particularly the double, to be cramped, and noted minor wear like scuffs on walls.
- Limited number of rooms — With only eight rooms, availability can be tight, and the hotel may lack the anonymity of a larger property.
- Potential for street noise — Rooms overlook the street, so light sleepers might experience some urban sounds despite soundproofing.
- No in-room coffee machine — While tea and coffee facilities are provided, a guest noted the absence of a proper coffee machine as a minor shortfall.
