Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Basic 2-star comfort — This is a budget hostel – expect simple rooms and shared facilities rather than hotel-style amenities. The moderate overall rating (6.4/10) reflects this.
- Check-in ends at 23:59 — If you land late, you may not be able to check in after midnight. Plan your arrival accordingly.
- No pets allowed — The hostel does not accept pets, so you'll need alternative arrangements if you travel with an animal.
