In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Not the quietest choice — With nightly social events and drinking games, this is a party-friendly property. Light sleepers may find the buzz too much, and room sizes in dorms can feel snug for four.
- Adults-only policy — The hostel accepts only adults, so it is not suitable for families with children, and pets are not allowed.
- Shared bathrooms only — All room types use shared bathroom facilities, which may not suit travellers seeking private en-suite amenities.
