Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Small private rooms — The private rooms are compact, which may be tight for those expecting standard hotel space.
  • Simple breakfast — Breakfast is basic – toast with butter and jam – not a full spread.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 21:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place.
  • Hostel environment — It's a social hostel with dorms, so it may not suit those looking for complete quiet or hotel-style service.

“A modern, quirky hostel with extremely helpful staff who let us use the printer and gave us maps and bus tickets. The atmosphere was fun, facilities were excellent, and the beds had zip-down curtains for privacy. The common area was relaxing, the kitchen had everything, and the location was handy – close to the subway and a 7-Eleven below.”
