Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Mixed dormitory only — All room options are shared dorms – there are no private rooms – and the hostel is adults-only, which may not suit everyone.
  • No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, so guests arriving by car will need to use public transport or find street parking in the area.
  • Value rating lower than other scores — While overall scores are good, the value rating is slightly below the hostel's strongest categories, suggesting some guests felt the price-to-quality ratio was not exceptional.
