Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Adults-only policy — This hostel is adults-only, so families with children won't be able to stay despite having family rooms listed.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No private parking — There is no on-site parking, so guests arriving by car will need to find alternatives.
- Some rooms lack private bathrooms — While Studio and Superior Double rooms come with showers, several room types don't list a private bathroom, meaning shared facilities for those staying in dorms or certain private rooms.
