In brief

–

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Dorms only, adults only — The hostel offers just two shared dormitory types (6-bed and 8-bed) and doesn't accept children or pets, which may not suit all travelers.
  • Third-floor walk-up — The hostel is on the 3rd floor; while there is a lift, this might be a minor inconvenience, and the entrance via a doorbell adds an extra step.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 22:00, which could be tricky for early arrivals or very late flights.
  • No on-site parking — There's no parking mentioned, so guests arriving by car would need to find alternatives in the city center.
  • Mixed ratings for service — While staff score well (8.2), the service category is rated 7.2, suggesting occasional inconsistencies despite positive reviews.
