Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Late check-in and early checkout — Check-in is only from 5 pm, which may not suit travellers arriving earlier. Checkout is at 10 am, so you'll need to plan your morning accordingly.
- Adults-only policy — The hotel does not allow children or pets, which may be a limitation for families or those travelling with animals.
- Limited room amenities — Some cabin types only list heating and air conditioning, and there's no mention of a private bathroom in the rooms. Shared facilities like the public bath are the norm.
- No on-site smoking areas — The entire property is no-smoking, which could be inconvenient for smokers who would need to leave the building.
