Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Mixed guest rating and no category breakdown — The overall rating of 7.4 is below the area average of 8.3, though many individual reviews are positive, suggesting some inconsistency.
- No private rooms or ensuite bathrooms — All listed rooms are dormitories with shared shower facilities, so guests seeking privacy or a private bathroom may be disappointed.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 23:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals or early landings.
