I was comfortable with the cleanness of the room and with the roommates. I got a chance to enjoy some amenities, and hopefully more the next time I visit.
All the pros of a hostel - safe, superb vibe, people from all over the world, lots of activities and spaces to hang out. Great conversations. Big bathroom stalls. Great location to take a break from all the tourist areas.
Cons:
The room was very cold. You need a plank under the mattress so that the bed doesn't slop so much. Lockers need a rod with a hanger or two because you are living out of a suitcase on the floor is quite literal here. Our room floor was not clean.
The front desk service was great, and the bunk setup was the best I've ever seen at a hostel (with the one issue that the outlets weren't right for my laptop power cord).
