Very good

Liked: Pretty good overall, comfy bed and well designed dorms. Good location. Good kitchen.
Disliked: Need more bathrooms upstairs, there's only one for the entire upstairs and usually someone in it, so quite annoying having to go downstairs in the night or to shower.

Exceptional

Liked: Close to airport and Little Italy

Superb

Liked: Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Complimentary BBQ on Saturdays, and another BBQ on Memorial Day when I stayed there. I slept well and was never woken up by loud noises or other guests.
Disliked: Breakfast was from 7am till 9am, however most of the food was gone by 8am

Had everything I wanted

Liked: I was solo-traveling (female), so safety's important to me. On the walk from the bus to the hostel, I felt totally fine. It was the same at the hostel--everyone kept to themselves, and the bedroom was quiet. The pancake breakfast was fun. The staff was nice, too, and it looked like they cleaned the bathrooms pretty frequently. Each bed also had outlets (regular and USB-A if I remember right) and a lamp. The location is excellent and there's an impressive farmer's market that goes on each Wednesday and Saturday about a block away from the hostel.
Disliked: The luggage storage was super not secure (just a cage under the bed), but everyone kept to themselves, and I wasn't super worried about anything getting stolen--for more valuable items, each bed had a little cubby. Also the fridge was cram-packed. It was hard to find a spot for my sandwich.
