Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Mixed bedding comfort — While some guests find the mattresses comfortable, others note the beds could be more comfortable.
- Air conditioning not available in all rooms — Some dormitory rooms lack air conditioning, which may be a drawback in summer.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:59, which could be inconvenient for late-night arrivals.
- No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Not the quietest location — Being near the train station and busy areas might mean some street noise, though reviews mention quiet surroundings.
