In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms score below average — The 'Rooms' rating category sits at 5.3 out of 10, notably lower than the overall property rating. Guests generally find dorms and private rooms functional, but don't expect design flourishes.
- Limited reception hours for check-out — Check-out is from 01:00 to 10:00, which is unusually early. If you plan a late morning, you'll need to be out by 10am.
- No pets allowed — The property is strictly no-pets, so you'll need to arrange care for your animal if you're travelling with one.
