The fine print
Guests are allocated a bed upon check-in (the hostel is unable to hold specific beds in advance). Guests arriving early to check-in may store their luggage for free. There is a left luggage service upon check-out (there is a small fee for this service) . Guests between 16 and 45 years of age are free to place bookings in our shared dormitories. Guests aged 15 or younger and above 45 years of age are unable to use the shared dorms and must book in a private dorm or room.
Guests are required to show a photo identification and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.
