Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The hostel does not list parking facilities, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby or use public transport.
  • Strict check-in window until midnight — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late-night arrivals or early morning landings.
  • Pets not allowed — No pets are permitted on site, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • No smoking on site — The entire property is non-smoking, which may be a drawback for smokers who prefer designated areas.
  • Possible noise from central location — While many guests enjoy the lively surroundings, some mention minor noise issues – typical for a city-centre hostel.
