- No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.

8.2Verified guest“Stayed one night in the old town. Perfect spot, no transport needed. Staff allowed a late check-in and early check-out without fuss. Room was spotless, beds fresh. Got a double ensuite despite booking a 3-bed room – spacious with kitchenette, bathroom, and balcony. Building was warm, slept well. Real find.”
