Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Potential noise from nightclub and entertainment — Guests seeking quiet might be affected by on-site entertainment and nightlife, though reviews do not explicitly complain – the trade-off is structural.
- Limited to dormitory-style rooms — Only shared dorms (female-only and mixed) are listed, with no private rooms mentioned – not ideal for those seeking solitude.
- Adults-only policy — The hostel is adults-only, so families with children cannot stay here, despite one review mentioning kids exploring attractions.
- Check-out begins very early — Check-out is from 01:00 to 11:00, which may be an early start for some, though luggage storage mitigates late departures.
