Worth weighing

- Shared rooms can feel cramped — One guest noted that a shared room with five beds felt a bit tight. Dormitory accommodations may not suit those seeking spaciousness.
- No on-site parking details — There is no information about parking facilities, which could be a drawback for guests arriving by car.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late-night arrivals or early flights.
