Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basic amenities in rooms — Rooms list only parquet floors and curtains as amenities; there's no mention of extras like hairdryers or toiletries beyond the shower.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-in window starts at 15:00 — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, which could be inconvenient if you arrive earlier and need immediate room access.
  • Price from £12 per night — At the lower end of the budget scale, but the price may not reflect the on-site facilities like breakfast, which could be an extra cost depending on the booking.
