Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small-scale, budget setup — Rooms are mostly shared dorms with limited privacy beyond the bed curtains, and the only private option is a single Deluxe Double Room. Bathrooms are located on a separate floor.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets on the property, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is from 14:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals (past midnight) may be a problem unless arranged in advance.
  • Paid airport shuttle only — The hostel offers a shuttle to meet guests' transportation needs, but it comes at an additional cost.
