Things to Consider

Guests sensitive to noise should be aware that its central location can mean exposure to lively street sounds typical of urban settings. Accommodations are more rustic compared to hotels, aligning with the backpacker vibe but lacking some modern conveniences.

For those expecting luxury-level comfort or privacy, note that facilities are shared among guests. However, this aspect is often seen as enhancing the social environment rather than being a downside.
