Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Pets not allowed — Despite some reviewers mentioning the owners' pets on the property, guests cannot bring their own animals.
- Check-in limited to 14:00-22:00 — If you arrive outside these hours, you'll need to arrange an alternative. The hostel does not offer 24-hour reception.
- Small property — With only 13 rooms, availability can be tight, especially during peak season. The intimate scale also means fewer facilities than larger hotels.
