Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 18:00, which may be restrictive for those arriving outside these hours despite the proximity to the bus station.
- No pets allowed — The hostel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Shared dormitory only — Accommodation is limited to mixed dormitories (4-bed and 8-bed), with no private rooms available.
- Early check-out — Check-out is between 04:00 and 09:00, which means early departures are expected – fine for early Camino starts, but not for lie-ins.
