Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Compact property with only 17 rooms — The small scale means limited public spaces and potentially less availability, but it also keeps the atmosphere intimate.
  • Check-in starts at 16:00 — If you arrive earlier, you may need to store luggage or plan around the late check-in window, which runs until 23:59.
  • No parking on site — There is no designated parking, so guests arriving by car will need to find public options nearby.
  • Basic amenities in some rooms — Dormitory rooms and some twins only list heating and air conditioning, without en-suite bathrooms or extra features.

“Our Christmas stay was wonderful. The staff greeted us warmly and we felt at home throughout. A complimentary breakfast and hot cocoa were perfect for chilly mornings. The location was handy with a convenience store and supermarket nearby for snacks and drinks. The hotel was a short walk from a famous temple, where we saw beautiful celebrations. The rooms were cozy and spotless, and the bathrooms were fine. Great value.”
