Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Mixed reviews on shower quality — While toilets were frequently noted as clean, some guests mentioned that showers could be better. The 12-bed dorm and female dorm include a bathtub, but individual shower quality appears inconsistent.
- Kitchen lacks a stove — Although the hostel offers a kitchen and common area, one guest highlighted that there is no stove, which may limit self-catering options.
- No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, which may be a limitation for travellers wishing to bring their animals.
