Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Narrow check-in window — Check-in is limited to 12:30–18:30, and checkout runs 05:00–10:00. If you're arriving later, you'll need a plan.
- Facilities score lower than other categories — Facilities come in at 7.9/10, the weakest of the rated categories, so expectations should centre on the rooms and staff rather than extensive extras.
- Bathroom arrangements vary by room — The dormitory is a shared room, and one guest describes a shared bathroom within the room. Private room types list showers, but it's worth confirming the exact setup before booking.
