In brief
What works, what to weigh
+

- Relaxing outdoor space — The garden, sun deck, and jacuzzi are distinctive for a city guest house, giving you a place to unwind after sightseeing.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms are rated the weakest part — At 7.5, the rooms score below the overall average, suggesting the interiors may feel dated or less polished than the service.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 19:00, so plan your arrival carefully — there's no 24-hour front desk mentioned.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this won't work. The policy is strict, and there's no mention of pet facilities.
