Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small private bathrooms — Several reviewers note that the private bathrooms are compact, suggesting they could be bigger. This is a recurring theme rather than an isolated comment.
- Check-in window is short — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 20:30, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals. Guests with evening flights or delays should plan accordingly.
- No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, which could be a drawback for travellers wanting to bring their furry companions.
- Value rating is the lowest category — While the overall rating is solid (8.1), the value-for-money score is 7.8 — the weakest category. Some guests might find the price-to-experience ratio less compelling than other aspects.

Metro and tram stations are just a hop, skip, and jump away, with bars galore and famous landmarks within walking distance. The room was spacious, though the bathroom could be a bit bigger. The lounge area was stellar for chilling or working, and the garden and common areas were jaw-dropping. Breakfast was top-notch, Wi-Fi reliable, and the leisure/TV room and board games were great. No pets here, which I appreciate. A complete delight, especially for the price.”
