The hostel was nice and clean. The only things to note were that the curtains didn't close all the way and it sounded like our window was open and not able to be closed and we could hear other people outside and they could probably hear us too. Also, it says they accept cards online but when i got to the property they said they only take cash. They ended up not having my pay upfront and just charging hotels.com which worked out okay.
