Worth weighing
3 to weigh- A narrow check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 14:00 and 23:00, so late arrivals need to be planned around.
- Adults-only and pet-free — The adults-only policy and no-pets rule mean the hostel will not suit families with children or anyone travelling with an animal.
- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — The room list includes a Shared Bathroom Room and a Shared Bathroom Triple Room, and one guest described being moved after initially being given a shared-bathroom room by mistake.
