Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Mixed value rating — The value score (7.8) is slightly below the overall rating, and the area average rating is higher (8.7), suggesting you may pay a premium for the location.
- Small scale property — It's a guesthouse, so expect a more intimate setting rather than a full-service hotel. One review noted it's a small hotel, best for short stays.
- Limited room variety — Only two room types are listed – Deluxe and Executive Triple – so options for families or groups may be limited.
