–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Inconsistent room quality — While dorms are praised, some private rooms on the third floor suffer from curtains that don't block light, and can be placed on male-only floors.
- Mixed staff interactions — Although most staff are friendly, at least one guest reported a rude receptionist who refused a room change request.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- Basic amenities — Rooms come with heating but little else, and the hostel overall is a no-frills 2-star property. Breakfast is available, but don't expect luxury.
