Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No air conditioning — Rooms only list heating as climate control, so summer stays may be warm depending on the weather.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals unless arranged.
- Shared bathrooms in most rooms — Only one Quadruple Room has a private bathroom; the others share facilities, which some travellers may prefer to avoid.
- Building can feel rundown — One guest mentioned the building is 'charmingly rundown', suggesting some parts are a bit dated.
