Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Night noise from nearby bars — The location is lively, and some guests report noise at night from the surrounding bars.
- Shared facilities in dorms — Dorm rooms use shared bathrooms, and the 8-bed dorms have fewer amenities than the private double.
- Restricted check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 22:00, which could be tight if you arrive late.
- No pets allowed — The hostel doesn't permit pets, which may be a limitation for travelers with animals.
