Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities score is the weakest category — Facilities rate 6.2, suggesting the shared spaces or equipment may feel dated or limited compared to other aspects.
  • Comfort is rated lower than other areas — Comfort scores 7.5, which may indicate basic bedding or noise levels in shared rooms.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel has a strict no-pets policy, which may be a drawback for travellers who want to bring their animals.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 23:59, so late-night arrivals could be tricky if you land after midnight.
