Book a Private Room for More Comfort

If you prefer more privacy and comfort, consider booking a private room with a private bathroom. This can help avoid issues related to shared facilities and provide a more comfortable stay.

Consider Bringing Your Own Toiletries

Some guests mentioned issues with the quality of provided toiletries. Consider bringing your own to ensure you have the products you prefer during your stay.

Check the Heating and Bedding

If visiting during colder months, it's advisable to check the heating and bedding situation, as some guests reported issues with cold rooms and insufficient bedding. Bringing extra layers or inquiring about additional blankets may be helpful.

Be Mindful of the Surrounding Area

While the hostel is centrally located, some guests noted that the immediate surrounding area may have a significant homeless population, which could be unsettling for some visitors, especially at night.

Opt for a Higher Floor for Quietness

To minimize noise disruptions, consider requesting a room on a higher floor, as some guests mentioned that noise from the street or common areas could be bothersome.

Bring Slippers for Shared Facilities

As some guests mentioned cleanliness concerns in the shared bathrooms, bringing slippers for use in these areas can provide added comfort and hygiene during your stay.

Double-Check Amenities Availability

Consider Bringing Earplugs

Inquire About Window Screens

If you are sensitive to insects, it's advisable to inquire about the availability of window screens, as some guests reported issues with mosquitoes due to open windows without screens.

Verify Parking Options

If you plan to drive, it's recommended to verify parking options directly with the hostel, as some guests noted discrepancies between online information and the actual parking situation.
