Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Women-only guesthouse — This property only accepts female guests, so it's not suitable for male travelers or mixed groups.
  • Dormitory-style shared rooms — All room options are shared dormitory beds, which means less privacy and shared bathrooms (except for one private bathroom dorm).
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is restricted to 15:00–22:00, which may be inconvenient for late-night arrivals.
  • No on-site parking or pets — There's no parking mentioned and pets are not allowed, which could be a drawback for those traveling by car or with animals.
