Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 19:30. If you're arriving later, you'll need to plan around this or make alternative arrangements.
- Potential for noise at night — Despite its central location being praised, one guest mentioned noise from people coming and going at night. The social, active atmosphere may not suit light sleepers.
- Limited fridge space — The shared kitchen is well-equipped, but a guest noted that fridge space can be limited, which can be a challenge for longer stays or group cooking.

8.5Verified guest“The kitchen, lounge, bathrooms and toilets were all clean and properly stocked. Plenty of power sockets in the room. The staff were really helpful, and there was a decent secure area with lockers and space for snow gear. The location was handy for the bus stop and shops.”
8.5Verified guest“This has genuinely been the best hostel I've stayed in. The staff – Anna, Jeanne, Eilish and Miles – were incredibly friendly and always available, and they made me feel right at home. It's centrally located in a lively part of town, and the facilities are clean and comfortable. The communal area is great for socialising, and they offer secure storage for your belongings. I couldn't recommend it more. The only downside was that I couldn't stay longer.”
