How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.

Check-in, check-out and house rules
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out until 11:00. Children are allowed, so families can stay. Pets are not allowed, and the hostel has no parking of its own, which matters to anyone arriving by car.
Who it suits, and who it does not
For solo travellers and backpackers the hostel works well: most of what it sells is a single bed in a dorm, with female-only dorms among the options and sizes up to 28 m².
It does not suit anyone travelling with a pet, since pets are not allowed, and it has no parking for a hire car or own vehicle. Anyone set on a conventional hotel room with full privacy should note that the whole-room options described are the 12 m² twin and the 20 m² quadruple with a shared bathroom.
