It was perfectly simple, quiet, and clean. Better than I expected! I can see how it might get more noisy and messy if there were a lot of people, or a lively crowd there. But that's just how hostels are. You don't go to one for the sole purpose of getting a "good night's sleep". They are typically sociable environments for travelers, and your experience can be dependent on how respectful and responsible other travelers are. I did get a great sleep, but didn't really use the facilities since I was just passing through quickly. Nice kitchen though. I must have been in between the more popular timing, only saw a couple people in passing. As a reference, I'm a single woman in my 50s.
