Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic dorm accommodation — All rooms are shared dorms with bunk beds and shared bathrooms – no private en-suite options, which may not suit everyone.
- No pets allowed — Travelling with a dog or cat isn’t possible here – stated in the policies.
- No on-site parking — There’s no mention of parking facilities, so you’ll need to rely on public parking nearby or arrive on foot.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in runs from 13:00 to 22:30, so late arrivals outside these hours won’t be accommodated.
