Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Not right in the old town — The hostel sits in a residential area, which means a 25-minute walk to the main sights and a bit longer to reach the center. Public transport is available for those who don't want to walk.
- No pets allowed — If you're hoping to bring a furry friend, this hostel isn't set up for it – pets are not permitted on the property.
- Check-out is at 10:00 — Guests looking to sleep in will need to set an alarm – check-out is strictly by 10:00, though early check-in was noted as possible in some reviews.
- Limited on-site parking — While parking is listed as an amenity, it may be scarce or come with additional constraints in this residential area – best to confirm with the hostel if you're arriving by car.
