Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dormitory-only accommodation — There are no private rooms; the only options are shared dormitories, one for men and one for women. Light sleepers or those wanting privacy may find this limiting.
- Adults-only, no pets — The hotel does not accommodate children or pets, which could be a drawback for families or those traveling with animals.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is restricted to 16:00–23:00, which may be tight for late-night arrivals.
- Shared facilities — As a hostel, guests share bathrooms and common spaces. Some reviews note the general cleanliness but the lack of en-suite privacy remains a structural factor.
