This is my first time staying at a hostel so my experience is a bit limited.
Overall, I had a good experience. Communication was good. Location was good. Access was easy. It was fairly quiet and a good amount of privacy, all things considered. The bathroom area got flooded one night and it took a while for that to be cleaned up, but overall the place was kept fairly clean.
The two things I struggled the most with was the Wi-Fi and the smell. Because of the heat and humidity, the bathroom area wasn't very well ventilated. There's a small window that's opened but instead of exhausting the moisture from the inside, it's really just mixing it with the humidity and heat from the outside, causing a mildew smell that I had a very hard time with. I'm not sure if much can be done here. Inside the room and the communal sitting area near the kitchen/lobby, you don't notice the smell. On the other hand, the Wi-Fi was very unstable and unreliable. A lot of times it just wouldn't connect, not matter which SSID you used. And if it did, it was generally pretty slow. I was trying to use my cell service but in my pod/room area, the signal wasn't great for that either.
Overall, it was a good experience. Oh, if you need to do your laundry, you need to buy your own laundry detergent. I went out and got the smallest pack possible even though I only used it once. I left it behind for whoever needs it, hopefully someone used it.
