Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 21:00, so you can't arrive too late or too early. Plan your arrival accordingly.
- No pets allowed — This hostel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for your furry travel companions.
- Mixed experiences with staff and comfort — While most reviews are glowing, one guest had a negative experience with staff and found the accommodation uncomfortable, noting that the positives didn't outweigh the drawbacks.
- Rooms without private bathrooms — Several room types, including the economy quadruple and twin options, share bathrooms. If you prefer an en-suite, you'll need to choose the right room.
