+

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Limited privacy in shared dorms — Dorm beds come with curtains, but shared rooms are still communal—suited to social travelers rather than those wanting total seclusion.
- Check-in window ends at 23:30 — Arrivals must be completed by 11:30 PM unless otherwise arranged, which could be an issue for late-night flights or buses.
- No pets allowed — The hostel does not accommodate pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
