Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Adults-only policy — The hostel does not accept children, which may rule it out for families travelling with younger kids.
- No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby.
- Some rooms share bathrooms — Basic dorm and family rooms come with showers but no private bathroom, so look to the Superior rooms for en-suite facilities.
- Mixed value perception — While Value scores 8.7, a few reviewers felt the price was steep relative to the experience, particularly for the room size.
