This was my first hostel experience
I was pleasantly surprised with the communication of the hostel and the price.
The matrasses were stiff and thin with a regular wooden frame to sleep on. Fine for me and probably for people that sleep on their stomach. Plenty of showers that had good functioning water supply (in the morning quite cold though, but I didn't mind)
There's a locker per sleeping spot, so it felt good leaving the place to go out while knowing my stuff was safe. Other residents were quite loud with snoring and coming in/and out however, so that was a bummer. Even with an eye mask and sleep hearing aids in, I couldn't help it but to wake up. Not so great for the rest of my travel, but yeah what can you do.
Maybe hostels are not for me, since sleep is precious to me.
TLDR: hostel is fine, sleep experience depends on other residents
