Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No private bathrooms — All listed rooms use shared shower facilities—standard for hostels, but not for those wanting en-suite privacy.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals may be a problem if you don't plan ahead.
- No on-site parking mentioned — If you're driving, you'll need to find public parking elsewhere, as none is listed at the property.
- Stairs and no elevator — Some guests noted the lack of an elevator, and staff helped carry luggage—so pack light if stairs are a concern.
