Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness could be better — The rating for rooms and cleanliness is 7 out of 10, the lowest of the categories, suggesting some guests found areas for improvement.
- No pets allowed — The guesthouse does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for your animal companions.
- Breakfast not included in all room rates — While some reviews praise the breakfast, it is not listed as a standard amenity or included in the room amenities, so you may need to pay extra or arrange it separately.
- Check-out window is early — Check-out is between 01:00 and 10:00, which is a narrow window and could feel early if you're planning a leisurely morning.
