- compact rooms — rated 7.5 for rooms, and the property is a hostel-style stay — space is at a premium, especially in dorms.
- no pets allowed — the property does not accept pets, and smoking is prohibited on site.
- check-in window is limited — check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:30 — if you arrive later, you'll need to plan ahead.
