Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Late check-in cut-off at 23:30 — If your flight or train arrives after midnight, you'll need to plan for a place to stay elsewhere for the first night.
- Early checkout by 10:00 — The checkout window runs from 07:00 to 10:00, so it's not a place for lie-ins on departure day.
- Free Wi-Fi is limited to public areas — The amenity list specifies Wi-Fi in public areas, so don't count on a connection inside a dorm.
- Most beds are in mixed dorms — The two shared options are both mixed, and the single private option is a twin room with one double and two single beds.
- No pets allowed — The policy is a straightforward 'not allowed'.
