Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No parking on site — The listing does not indicate any parking facilities, so guests arriving by car will need to make their own arrangements.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 22:00, which may be inconvenient for travellers arriving late or with early flights.
- Pets are not allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Dormitory beds may not suit all — While dorms offer privacy with kimono-style curtains, they still involve shared spaces, which may not suit travellers seeking full seclusion.
