Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals may need to plan accordingly. Check-out is from 07:00 to 10:00.
- No pets allowed — Unlike some hostels, this property does not permit pets. This may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
- Potential noise from lively dorm areas — One reviewer noted the bunk bed area has a lively atmosphere that may not suit those seeking total quiet. While the dorm was described as spacious and quiet by another guest, the social vibe could be a factor for light sleepers.
- No parking available — The property does not list any parking options, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby.
