Pleasantly Surprised
My first ever hostel experience: I had a private room with an en suite, which was surprisingly latge, comfortable, clean, and accommodating of my remote work. I would recommend the private accommodation.
Hostels are often ridiculed so at least give this one a chance.

Not great
You definitely get what you pay for. I knew it wouldn’t be great given the price, but we didn’t sleep a wink. Our bathroom had clumps of hair on the floor. The it sheets smelled like sweat. The staff cleaned the kitchen right next to our room till 2am and were so loud. I wanted to love this place, but I just couldn’t.
