Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Adults-only and no pets — The hostel only accepts guests aged 18 and over and does not allow pets, which may not suit all travelers.
  • Social scene can get loud — The party atmosphere and nightly entertainment might be too much if you're seeking a quiet, peaceful stay — though dorms are set away from the bar.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:00, which can be an issue for early or late arrivals.
  • Mixed reviews on facilities — While most praise cleanliness and comfort, a few reviews rated lower on atmosphere and other aspects, suggesting it may not suit everyone.
