I think this is a really good hostel with a great location. It’s nice and clean, there’s curtains, and the staff are very helpful. There are few showers/toilets per floor compared to other hostels, but I would still highly recommend!

Totally worth the price but my room was located along a really loud street where people shouted often. Aside from that the facilities were clean and the breakfast was a life saver.
