Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No rating breakdowns available — The property lacks specific category scores, so it's hard to tell exactly where it excels beyond the overall number.
  • Limited info on parking — Parking isn't listed in the policies or amenities, so plan ahead if you're driving.
  • Late check-in window — Check-in runs from 12:00 to 23:59, so arrivals after midnight aren't covered.
  • Small property feel — With only three room types and a single dorm, the hostel is likely compact—fine for some, but not for those wanting large common spaces.
