Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Youth-only – adults only — This property does not accept children or families, which suits some travellers but limits others.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:00. If you arrive later, you'll need to arrange something – the hostel doesn't list a 24-hour desk.
  • No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted on site, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
  • Small dorm rooms — Accommodation is limited to shared dorms (6-, 8-, and 10-bed), so there are no private rooms or ensuite bathrooms.
