Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No air conditioning in most rooms — Only the Double Room is listed with air conditioning; other room types rely on heating, which could make warm nights uncomfortable.
- Check-in limited to afternoon and evening — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals past midnight are not accommodated unless arranged otherwise.
- Pets not allowed — The hostel explicitly does not accept pets, which may rule it out for travellers with animal companions.
- Simpler amenities than higher-rated hotels — With no restaurant, bar, or gym, this is a basic hostel – fine for a short stay, but not for those expecting resort-style facilities.
