Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Adults-only policy — This hostel does not accept children, which may not suit families or those travelling with younger guests.
- Dormitory-only accommodation — Rooms are shared dorms (8-bed and 6-bed), so there are no private or ensuite options for those preferring more privacy.
- Limited breakfast quality — While a free breakfast is offered, one reviewer noted it was 'not super good', though still a bonus.
- Wi-Fi slower in the evenings — Internet connection works well overall but can slow down during peak evening hours when many guests are online.
