Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small property, limited rooms — With only 14 rooms, availability can be tight, especially during peak season. The intimate scale may suit some but not those seeking a large hostel with extensive amenities.
- No pets allowed — Travelers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the hostel has a strict no-pets policy.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 13:00 to 22:00, which may be inconvenient for those arriving very late or needing early access before 1 PM.
- Some walks are longer than expected — While central, a few guests note it's still a bit of a walk to the very center, despite being close to the metro. Expect around 15 minutes to main attractions.
