Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Lower comfort and facilities scores — The comfort rating sits at 7.5 and facilities at 7.4, notably below the overall 8.5. While reviews are positive, these scores suggest some areas may feel basic for the price.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is restricted to 14:00-21:00, which may not suit travellers arriving late. The hostel does not appear to offer 24-hour reception.
- Possible street noise — A couple of reviews mention noise from the lively area, though some note that rooms facing the backyard were quiet. Light sleepers may want to request a quieter room.
- Small property scale — With only 13 rooms, the hostel is intimate but offers limited on-site facilities compared to larger hotels. Guests looking for a full-service stay may find it lacking.
