Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Hostel-style setup — The property is described as a hostel, which may mean a more communal atmosphere and simpler rooms than a typical hotel.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is limited to 11:30–13:00, which is an unusually narrow window and may be inconvenient if you arrive at other times.
  • Mixed reviews — With a rating of 7.0 out of 10 from 85 reviews, the hotel gets moderate feedback, and the area average is higher at 8.2, suggesting you might find better options nearby.
