Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Mixed room ratings — While many guests find rooms clean and comfortable, the overall room rating is modest, suggesting some inconsistency in quality or noise levels.
- No pets allowed — Travellers with pets won't be able to stay here, as the hostel enforces a strict no-pets policy.
- Limited on-site parking — Parking is public and nearby rather than private, so spaces may not be guaranteed and could involve a walk or an extra fee.
- Dorm beds with basic amenities — Some rooms, like the Guest Room with four single beds, list no extra amenities, meaning you may need to rely on shared facilities.
