Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Adults-only policy — This guesthouse does not accept children, which may not suit families travelling together.
- No pets allowed — If you're planning to travel with a pet, you'll need to look elsewhere.
- Dormitory-style shared rooms — Most rooms are shared dorms with bunk beds, so privacy is limited and you'll need to share facilities.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:00, so late-night arrivals could be a problem.
