Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The hotel doesn't list parking as an amenity, which could be a drawback if you're driving. The central location above a station makes it better suited to guests using public transport.
  • Party atmosphere may not suit everyone — Several guests mention a lively social scene and party vibe, with a night club and live entertainment on site. If you're after a quiet night's sleep, this might be a consideration.
  • Shared bathroom in most dorms — With the exception of the Private Bathroom Double Room and the occasional twin with shared bath, most dorms rely on shared facilities. Guests looking for en-suite privacy should book accordingly.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:59 — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight aren't accommodated by the standard policy. The 24-hour reception may offer flexibility, but it's best to plan your arrival time.
