Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms and service have mixed reviews — Rooms and service are rated slightly below the overall score, with some guests finding the basics adequate rather than exceptional.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 17:00, so you’ll need to plan your arrival carefully or arrange express check-in if possible.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel doesn’t accept pets, so you’ll need to make other arrangements for your furry companions.
  • No on-site dining beyond snacks — There’s a snack bar and vending machines, but no full restaurant — guests looking for a meal may need to head to nearby cafes or use the shared kitchen.
