Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The policy states that pets are not permitted on the property, which may be a limitation for those traveling with animals.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is available from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight cannot be accommodated.
- Some rooms lack private bathrooms — While private rooms often have ensuite facilities, dormitory beds share bathrooms. Basic dorm rooms list only a shower and heating, implying shared facilities.
- Potential noise from the city center — Being in the heart of the Old Town means street noise might be noticeable, though reviews generally describe the hostel as quiet.
