Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a furry companion, this isn't the place.
- Potential for street noise — The central location near bars and restaurants could mean some ambient noise, though no guest review specifically complains about it.
- Shared bathrooms in some room types — Several dorms and private rooms use shared facilities, which may not suit everyone.
