Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Moderate overall rating — With a guest rating of 7.1 out of 10, this is not a top-tier hostel; expectations should be set accordingly.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with an animal, this hostel isn't an option.
- Standard dorm amenities vary — Some shared rooms come without the en-suite bathrooms and extra fittings found in other room types, so check your booking carefully.
