Worth weighing
5 to weigh- No on-site parking — The property doesn't list any parking, so guests arriving by car will need to find street parking or use transit (the nearest bus stop is a 5-minute walk).
- Adults-only policy — Children aren't accommodated here, which may not suit family travellers.
- Shared dormitory bathrooms — All room types are dormitory beds with shared shower facilities; private rooms are not available.
- No pets allowed — The property doesn't permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for furry companions.
- Reception isn't 24-hour check-in — Check-in is limited to 11:00–23:30, so late arrivals after 11:30 pm won't be able to check in until the next morning.
