Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Shared dorms only — All room types are mixed dormitories — there are no private rooms listed, so travelers seeking solitude will need to look elsewhere.
- No pets allowed — The hostel does not accept pets, so guests traveling with animals cannot stay here.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is between 14:00 and 22:00, which might be inconvenient for arrivals outside these hours despite the 24-hour reception.
- Mixed reviews on room comfort — While many praise the beds, some found the rooms less than perfect — the overall room rating is 7.7, lower than other categories.
