Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 19:30, which may be tight for travelers arriving late.
- Check-out ends at 11:00 — Check-out is between 07:00 and 11:00, which is standard but may feel early for a leisurely morning.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a limitation for those traveling with animals.
- Not all rooms have private baths — While some rooms include an open-air bath, the Western-style small-double room does not, and the property is a 3-star hotel.
- Price may be high for the class — At $208 per night, it is above the area average rating of 8.5, but pricing seems aligned with the 9.1 rating.
