Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:00, so if you arrive later than 10 pm, you won't be able to check in. Plan your arrival accordingly.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hostel isn't an option. The policy states pets are not allowed.
- Early check-out time — Check-out is from 08:00 to 10:00, which is earlier than many hotels. You'll need to be out of your room by 10 am.
