Worth weighing
5 to weigh- No pets allowed — The hostel doesn't accept pets, so you'll need to plan for your furry companions elsewhere.
- No on-site parking — There's no parking available, so it's best to arrive by public transport or use nearby paid lots.
- Dorm rooms only — All room options are shared dorms – no private rooms – so you'll be sharing the space with others.
- Possible noise from shared spaces and ventilation — Some guests noted noise from common areas at night and from the AC or ventilation system in rooms.
- Limited check-out window — Check-out is between 05:00 and 10:00, which might be tight if you plan to sleep in.
