Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
- Check-out by 11:00 — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, and check-out is at 11:00. Late sleepers may need to plan accordingly.
- Shared dormitory rooms dominate — While private rooms exist, many options are shared dorms, meaning you'll be sharing space with other travelers. The female-only and mixed dorms can be lively.
- Some guests found breakfast underwhelming — Although many enjoyed breakfast, a couple of reviewers felt it was only decent and that other options nearby might be better.
