  • Limited number of rooms — With only nine rooms, availability can be tight, especially during peak hiking and ski seasons.
  • Check-in window ends at 21:00 — Guests must arrive between 15:00 and 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • Some rooms lack air conditioning — The property relies on central heating; there is no mention of AC, which may matter on warm summer days.
