- Early check-out time — Check-out is at 09:00, quite early for guests who prefer a slower morning.
- Small scale — With only 8 rooms, the hotel may feel limited in terms of space and on-site facilities, and availability could be tight.
- Mixed ratings for dining — While breakfast earned praise, the overall dining rating is on the lower side (4.9), suggesting limited options.
