Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities score below average — Among the hostel's rating categories, Facilities scores 6.1, the lowest of all. This suggests some aspects of the physical plant may feel basic or dated compared to the high-tech rooms.
- No pets allowed — The hostel doesn't accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you travel with an animal.
- Check-out is early — Check-out is at 10:00, which may feel tight if you're on a late flight or want a lazy morning. The hostel does offer luggage storage, which can help bridge the gap.
- Limited on-site dining — With a Dining score of 7.4 and no restaurant listed, breakfast or meal options are likely limited, so you'll be relying on the nearby restaurants and bars.

7.3Verified guest“Great location, close to restaurants but in a quiet area, with bars and eateries nearby.”
7.3Verified guest“Stayed one night and it was excellent. The bathrooms and showers were great, and the Japanese towels were a unique touch. Staff allowed an early check-in, security was top-notch with PIN entry, and the cleanliness impressed even a germophobe. The capsules were spacious and well-ventilated, like camping in a tent. Perfect location near the centre, with free Wi-Fi, water, and towels in each capsule. Highly recommend.”
