Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic facilities for some rooms — Some rooms have shared or external bathrooms, and the property is a 2-star hostal, so amenities are limited (no on-site restaurant beyond vending machines).
- Value rating lower than other categories — Value scored 7.6, slightly below the property's overall service and room ratings, suggesting some guests feel the price-to-quality ratio could be better.
- Reception not 24 hours — Check-in is limited to 14:00–23:59, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals. Early check-out at 11:00 is standard.
- No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for those traveling with animals.
