Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are basic — Guest ratings for rooms and comfort are below average (6.5 and 5.0 out of 10), suggesting simple furnishings and limited space.
- Limited facilities — Facilities score is also low (5.0), and amenities are minimal – no air conditioning, no on-site restaurant.
- No pets allowed — If you travel with a pet, this guesthouse is not an option.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals may need to arrange special timing.
