Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed value rating — While overall rating is strong, the value category scores lower at 8.4, and one returning guest gave a notably low rating, suggesting occasional inconsistency.
  • Small scale — With only eight rooms, availability can be limited, and the property may feel less anonymous than larger hotels.
  • Shared bathroom in some rooms — The standard double room has a shared bathroom, which may not suit all travellers despite being well-maintained.
  • No on-site parking? — Parking is listed, but one review mentions an 'off-site car park', so you may need to use a nearby lot.

“Wonderful stay. Hector, the owner, made us feel at home from the start, offering great tips on places to visit and local amenities. All staff were friendly and arranged a taxi to the airport. Our room was clean and comfortable, the shared bathroom spotless, and breakfast – though not included – was worth the extra $5. Easy walk to the main square, cable car, and bus station, with good nearby restaurants that weren't touristy.”
