The overall experience was good, the hostel is in a nice location and neighborhood is lively but quite and safe at the same time. Staff was nice and friendly, they organized social events (trips and nights out), and you can enjoy free breakfast every morning (though simple and quite repetitive, fruit, bagels, coffee/tea, orange juice, oatmeal and eggs) and free dinner on mondays, wednesdays and fridays. There is no lift and you can be assigned to a 4th floor room so make sure your luggage is not too heavy! ;)
However I had two big issue with my reservation: on Airbnb website I booked a 4 bed dorm but I was assigned to a 8 bed dorm, which was not the same in terms of comfort, and in my opinion, in terms of money value as well. When I complained at the reception they replied they have no differences in price for the 4 vs 8 beds dorm, and it can be ok. But the room was fully packed throughout the whole week and it was not comfortable at all to share a little space with other 7 people (especially when I was expecting only 3 room-mates!).
Moreover, since I booked in February for late September, they should have organized better room occupancy: I have no problems at all in sleeping in a mixed dorm (although I would prefer sleeping in a 4 bed FEMALE dorm) BUT eventually it appeared to be a MALE dorm plus myself, and I did not like this thing very much.
Also, on Friday night, we were sleeping there in 9 people, cause one guy brought in a night companion…
Also, cleaning dishes is after oneself, which is right. But the way it is organized is the least clean possible: first you put dishes in a sink soupy water (where everyone else does the same) then you move them into a sink with hot water and then into a sink with cold water (with a sanitizer). Result: really bad washing with food remains on almost every dish!!
