Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small property with limited facilities — With only seven rooms, the hostel is compact. There's no on-site restaurant or bar, and the shared kitchen is modest.
- Check-in window is relatively narrow — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 22:30, which may be inconvenient for guests arriving early or late at night.
- No pets allowed — Travelers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the hostel does not accommodate animals.
- Basic room amenities — Rooms come with just the essentials – a shower, heating, and air conditioning. There's no TV, minibar, or in-room coffee maker.
