- Clean and comfortable rooms — Rooms are described as clean, comfortable, and fresh-smelling, with hot showers and cozy beds, even in the shared dorms.
- Great social atmosphere — A welcoming common room and well-equipped kitchen make it easy to meet other travellers, with a lively but relaxed vibe.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Shared bathrooms in private rooms — The double and quadruple rooms have shared bathroom facilities, which may not suit those seeking ensuite privacy.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — With check-in between 12:00 and 23:00, late arrivals need to plan ahead, though the 24-hour reception may help.
- Street noise potential — Dorms overlook the main pedestrian street, which some might find lively or noisy, especially at night.
- Limited private accommodation — Only two private room types are offered (double and quadruple), both with shared bathrooms, so options for privacy are limited.
