In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Party atmosphere is not for everyone — With nightly events, happy hours, and a bar, the hostel is geared toward social travellers. Those wanting a quiet stay may find it lively.
  • Adults-only policy — The hostel does not admit children or pets, so it won't suit families travelling together.
  • No on-site parking — Parking is not listed among the facilities, so guests arriving by car or motorbike may need to find nearby parking.
  • Limited room types — With only 10 rooms and two basic categories, options are limited and likely to sell out quickly.
