Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Early 10:00 check-out — Rooms need to be vacated by 10:00, and check-in only runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so arrival and departure planning matter.
- Shared bathrooms on most room types — Only the Private Bathroom Double Room has an en-suite. The single, triple, quadruple and standard double room types share a bathroom, as do the dormitories.
- No pets and limited on-site food — Pets are not allowed, and the on-site offer is limited to vending machines plus the guest common area with a fridge, microwave and kettle mentioned in reviews.
