Very good
Liked: Location was excellent for town especially as it rained all weekend as well.
Disliked: Room was a little bit dated but clean. Perhaps new carpet. Also coffee and tea provided so maybe small milk portions

Good hostel but shady crime...
Liked: Very clean place and comfy beds, helpful staff.
Disliked: Some of the people who stayed / tourist groups were Human trafficking groups staying in hostel, not blaming the staff at all, but watch out for young women who act child like, who have odd tattoos on arms, bruises, scars on them, high on drugs, very pet like, dresses and jewelry on them run around the place or act odd, trafficking victims. Always keep on the look out if you see that, then write or call to FBI and Interpol.

Very nice place
Liked: The bed wasn't just a bed but a big comfortable space, all made in wood, with blind, light, plugs and a net as a bed table. The staff write your name next to your bed, this made me feel very welcomed and comfortable.Very big kitchen.Nice position, next to a warehouse and a supermarket, few minutes walking from the bus station.
Disliked: The mattress was very noisy every time I turned and the restroom's door in the dormitory didn't completely close, so was a bit awkward
