In brief
What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort scores lower than other categories — While rooms are generally clean, the comfort rating of 6.1 suggests that beds or noise levels may not suit everyone, especially on a budget.
- Dining options are limited — There's a snack bar and breakfast available, but no full restaurant; the dining rating of 6.9 reflects a modest offering.
- May attract a younger crowd — One reviewer noted the hostel seems geared toward 16–18 year olds, which could be a downside if you're seeking a quieter stay.
- Check-out is early — You'll need to be out by 10:00, which might feel rushed if you're planning a lazy morning.
