–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Street noise can be an issue — Some guests found the central area noisy, particularly at night.
- Rooms on the smaller side — While renovated and well-equipped, some rooms are compact – a common trade-off for a central hostal.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hostal won't accommodate them.
- Value rating slightly below average — The value score is 6.9, which is modest – you're paying for the location and convenience rather than luxury.
