  • Small hotel, limited rooms — With only 9 rooms, availability can be tight, and the hotel may feel intimate rather than offering extensive facilities.
  • Check-in window ends at 22:00 — Guests arriving later than 22:00 may need to arrange alternative plans, as the check-in period is 14:00 to 22:00.
  • No parking information provided — The hotel does not list parking availability, so guests arriving by car may need to find nearby options independently.
