Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 19:30, which might be tight for some travel plans.
- 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.
