Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 09:30 to 18:00, which might be inconvenient for late arrivals. One guest noted this as a minor drawback.
- Breakfast is off-site — Breakfast is served at a nearby cafe rather than at the hotel, so you'll walk a short distance each morning. Some may prefer an in-house option.
- No on-site restaurant — The B&B doesn't have a restaurant on the premises, but the lively neighborhood offers plenty of dining options, as guests note.
- Check-out is early — Check-out is between 08:00 and 10:00, which might feel rushed for those who like a leisurely morning.
