Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Comfort can be basic — Some guests note the rooms and facilities are not luxurious. The hostel is a social budget option, so don't expect hotel-style amenities.
- Breakfast costs extra — The buffet breakfast is highly praised but not included in the room rate. It's cheap—around 3 euros—but still an added cost for budget travellers.
- Limited in-room amenities — Many rooms lack private bathrooms and some have minimal furnishings. Dorm beds are basic, with shared facilities in certain room types.
