Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The hostel does not list parking facilities, and street parking in the old town can be challenging.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Reception is 24-hour, but check-in is only officially from 14:30 to 23:59 — late arrivals beyond that may need to arrange ahead.
- Dorm beds are single bunks — In shared dorms, you book a single bed, not the whole room, which means sharing with others.
- Some rooms lack private bathrooms — Only select room types (e.g., 6-Bed Mixed Dorm, Family Room, Deluxe Quadruple) list a shower; others may share facilities.
