In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • The staff get consistently high marks — Comfort scores a perfect 10, with staff rating at 8.6 – the standout category in guest feedback.
  • A quiet, secure stay — The hostel has 24-hour security and is adults-only, creating a calmer environment than many budget hostels.
  • Wi-Fi is free throughout — Stay connected in all areas of the property without extra charges.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Facilities are basic — The Facilities score is 5.7, the lowest rating category, and there's no mention of a kitchen, laundry, or common lounge beyond the TV and game rooms.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive late, you'll need to make other arrangements.
  • Not for pets — Pets are not allowed, and the hostel is adults-only, so families with young children should look elsewhere.
