Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so if you're traveling with an animal, you'll need to make other arrangements.
  • Basic room amenities in dorms — Shared dorm rooms list no specific amenities beyond the bed itself, so you'll likely want to bring your own towel and toiletries. Private rooms do include air conditioning and some have a private bathroom.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in runs from 13:00 to 23:59, so if you're arriving very late, you'll need to plan around the cut-off time.
