Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed value rating — While many praise the value, the overall Value score of 7.2 is the lowest category, suggesting some find it less exceptional for the price.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not accept pets, so those traveling with animals need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited room amenities in basic options — Some rooms, like the Basic Shared Bathroom Triple, come with only a shower listed, so air conditioning is not guaranteed in every room type.
  • Check-out is early morning — Check-out starts at 01:00 and ends at 11:30, which may not suit those who like a late start.
