My stay was very loud with multiple groups of kids running around. Woke up one morning to pee all over the bathroom floor.

Did the job but only just, the kitchen was bare with only utensils and dangerously blunt knives and no oil or even working salt and pepper! However the staff were very friendly and useful for getting discounts at various local attractions. If you simply need a place to sleep, this hostel is great.
