Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 18:00, so if you arrive later, you'll need to plan around the strict time frame.
- Check-out is early — Check-out runs from 05:00 to 10:00, which may feel tight for a relaxed morning, especially after a late night.
- No pets allowed — The hotel is not pet-friendly, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you're traveling with a dog or cat.
- Potential for noise or crowds — As a 3-star property with a hot spring bath and restaurant, common areas may get busy during peak hours, and the hillside location could mean some street noise on lower floors.
