Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in is limited to 14:00–21:00 — If you arrive outside these hours, you'll need to follow the hostel's late check-in instructions, which guests say are clear but require advance planning.
- No pets allowed — The hostel has a strict no-pets policy, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
- No on-site parking mentioned — There's no parking listed, so if you drive, you'll need to find public parking nearby—likely at an extra cost.
- Potential noise from nearby train tracks — Although one guest noted they didn't hear disturbances, the hostel's proximity to the train station means some light noise may be possible, especially for light sleepers.
