Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic 1-star guesthouse — This is a budget property with shared dormitory-style rooms, not a full-service hotel. Don't expect extensive amenities.
- Female-only and male-only dorms — Rooms are separated by gender, so couples or mixed groups cannot stay together in one room.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No pets and no smoking — The property does not allow pets and is entirely non-smoking, which may not suit all travelers.
