Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort scores below other categories — The property's lowest rated category is Comfort at 6.9, suggesting some guests may find beds or rooms less comfortable than other aspects.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the property's policy explicitly bars them.
  • Check-in only until 22:00 — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 22:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead or risk missing the window.
  • Limited to 3-star amenities — As a 3-star hostel, expect core comforts like air conditioning and Wi-Fi, but not luxury extras like a pool or fitness centre.
