Strengths

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Thin walls between rooms — Several guests recommend bringing earplugs, as noise carries despite the quiet street outside.
  • Check-in window is fixed — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59 – if you arrive late or need flexibility, you'll need to plan around this.
  • Some staff have limited English — While friendly and helpful, not all staff speak English fluently – guests note the language barrier, though service remains strong.
  • Basic room amenities — Rooms feature showers but little else – expect a no-frills stay, with the focus on communal spaces.

The location blew me away – modern, with plenty of restaurants and a huge supermarket nearby. Nights were surprisingly quiet, though thin walls meant earplugs helped. A top-notch hostel experience.”
