Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are compact — Some guests note the rooms are small, and the bathroom can be tight. The hostel has just 10 rooms, so space is at a premium.
- Reception and rooms are in separate buildings — This could mean an extra walk when you need assistance or want to use the common areas.
- Check-out is early — You’ll need to be out by 10:00, which may cut into a leisurely morning before heading to the next stop.
- No dedicated bar on site — While some travellers appreciate the quiet, those looking for a lively hostel bar will need to head to nearby Raday Street instead.
