Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Inform the hostel in advance if arriving after midnight to arrange late check-in.

  • 02

    Request the private apartment with its own kitchen and bathroom if complete privacy and self-catering are priorities.

  • 03

    Book the airport shuttle online for around 18 USD per person to avoid higher walk-up fares at the airport.

  • 04

    Choose a room away from street-facing frontage if noise sensitivity is a concern.
