–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Hillside location means a climb — The hostel is set on a hill; guests mention a 'short hike up and down' to reach it, which some found added to the experience.
- Potential street noise in the mornings — One reviewer noted noisy mornings with honking cars despite the otherwise quiet location.
- Limited room types — Only three room options: a private double and two dormitory styles. No family rooms or private twins are listed.
