Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No pets allowed — The guesthouse has a strict no-pets policy, so it won't suit travellers with animals.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals may need to plan ahead.
- Shared facilities in dorms — Dormitory rooms share bathrooms and kitchen spaces, which some guests might find less private.
