Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this won't be the place.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — If you're driving, you'll need to plan for parking elsewhere as none is listed.
  • Modest overall rating — At 7.3 out of 10, it's below the area average of 8.8, so expectations should be managed for a no-frills hostel.
