Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Check-in is limited to 14:00–18:00 — If you arrive outside these hours, you will need to arrange something in advance. The check-out is at midday, which is fairly standard for hostels.
  • Shared dormitory living — Most rooms are shared dorms, so privacy is limited. If you prefer a private space, there is only one double room with a private bathroom, which may book up quickly.
  • No pets allowed — If you are travelling with an animal, this hostel is not an option. There is no mention of pet-friendly facilities.
