Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a furry friend, this hostel isn't an option – the policy clearly states pets are not permitted.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00, so if you arrive late at night, you'll need to plan accordingly.
  • Comfort score slightly lower — While rooms are clean and well-equipped, the comfort rating of 7.5 suggests that some guests may find the dorm beds or general comfort a notch below other categories.

“I stayed over Christmas and had a wonderful time. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, the room clean and comfortable with privacy curtains and a handy sink. The kitchen and common area were spacious, perfect for cooking and meeting others. Location was ideal – a short walk from the centre yet quiet. The Saturday barbecue was a great bonus.”
