The hostel itself looked like the photos. It was fairly clean, especially the shared bathrooms which I did not expect to be so clean. The staff was friendly and prompt. The location was convenient.
I was disappointed they did not provide even basic soap and shampoo for the showers.
The worst part of the stay was barely the hostel's fault, but I feel more can be done to prevent it. As other travelers have mentioned, it was extremely noisy. While the hostel did state 'quiet hours', the other guests basically ignored this. The bottom of the doors are open so noise comes in immediately. We have the option to complain to front desk, but as there is no intercom system the only way was to go back to the first floor physically to report the situation, which is a hassle when you are in bed. Perhaps there can be some reminder posters or notices in the room. Of course some noise is to be expected but running from room to room shouting and screaming, slamming the doors hard etc. is too much.
