- Check-in ends at 23:00 — Arrivals are only accepted between 14:00 and 23:00. If your travel plans run late, you may need to coordinate with the hostel.
- No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so if you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place.
- Breakfast costs extra — A basic breakfast is available for a small fee, but it's not included in the room rate.
