Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Dining scores lower — The dining category is rated 7.9, which is below the overall rating of 8.0. Guests may find limited or less impressive on-site food options, though this is not a drawback for those exploring nearby eateries.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 23:00. If you arrive outside these hours, you must plan accordingly, despite the 24-hour reception.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited facilities — Aside from Wi-Fi, parking, and security, the amenity list is short. There is no mention of air conditioning, laundry, or a shared kitchen, which may be expected by some budget travellers.
