What works, what to weigh
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Fluent English-speaking staff — Guests repeatedly mention the helpful and friendly team, fluent in English and ready to assist with plans, even late at night.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited neighborhood offerings — The immediate area has only a few bars, restaurants, and a convenience store, so you may need to travel for more dining or entertainment.
- Evening check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 21:00, so arriving later may be an issue.
- No pets allowed — The hostel is not pet-friendly, which may be a drawback for those traveling with animals.
- Breakfast is paid extra — Unlike some hostels that include breakfast, here it's an additional cost.
