Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The hostel has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- Limited room types — The only listed room is a mixed dormitory, so private accommodation is not available. The hostel's small scale may also mean fewer beds to book.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — Guests must arrive between 14:00 and 23:00 for check-in. Late-night arrivals may be inconvenient if you have a delayed journey.
- No on-site parking — Parking is not listed as an amenity, which could be a challenge if you're driving. The hostel's central location may mean paid public parking nearby.
