Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited lockers in some rooms — A few guests reported a lack of lockers or keys in their dorm, which could be a concern for securing valuables.
- Basic dormitory setup — The hostel offers mostly shared rooms with few in-room amenities, so expect a no-frills stay, especially in dorms.
- No pets allowed — Travelers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the policy clearly forbids animals on site.
- Noise potential in shared spaces — Shared lounges and kitchens are praised for socializing but may not suit those seeking complete quiet.
