Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for those traveling with animals.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:00 — Guests arriving late at night may face challenges; though one review mentions late check-in was accommodated, official policy ends at 23:00.
  • Value rated slightly below other categories — While the price is generally well-regarded, the Value category is the lowest-rated at 7.7, suggesting some guests find it less of a bargain for the class.
