Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dorm-only accommodation — All rooms are shared dorms (8- or 10-bed mixed), so there are no private options for those seeking solitude.
- No pets allowed — The hostel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for animal companions.
- Check-out is early — Check-out runs from 1am to 11am, which may feel tight for anyone planning a leisurely morning.
- No on-site parking mentioned — There is no parking information available, so those arriving by car may need to find alternatives.
