What works, what to weigh

  • Consistently praised staff — Reviews describe the team as friendly, helpful, and welcoming, with specific mentions of going out of their way, such as offering complimentary pizza and drinks or giving gifts to children.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms can feel dated — Some guests note that while clean and comfortable, the rooms are a bit old in style. The trade-off is acceptable for the price, but if you prefer modern interiors, this might not be the place.
  • Limited natural light in some rooms — A few guests mention small or no regular windows, which can make rooms feel less airy. However, the rooftop terrace provides an outdoor alternative, and good windows help isolate street noise from nearby pubs.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not accept pets, so if you're travelling with a furry companion, you'll need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:59, which could be inconvenient if you arrive late at night or very early. The hostel does offer express and VIP check-in options, but the standard window is fixed.
