Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Potential noise in dorms — One guest noted that the 14-bed dorm can be noisy at first, though not overwhelming. The lively social atmosphere may not suit those seeking total quiet.
  • Basic breakfast and slow internet — While the breakfast is free, one review describes it as 'light but complimentary.' The same guest found the internet slow but functional, which could matter for digital nomads.
  • Minor wear and tear — One guest mentioned broken areas in the bed of their double room, though they still slept well. This suggests some fixtures may show signs of wear.
