Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Public parking rather than on-site — The hostel offers public parking nearby, which could mean a short walk with luggage and limited security compared to a private lot.
  • Basic rooms — The only listed room type is a double with a private bathroom, and no mention of air conditioning or other premium comforts.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight may need to make special arrangements.
