This was my first time staying at a hostel. I ended up with a private room and was only there for a single night, but it went well. The room, as well as the common areas, were very tidy. I had no issues accessing the shower(s)/restroom when I needed. The location was great. On the edge of little Italy with a ton of stuff in walking distance. Access to the tram was also very convenient. The outside area was a little rowdy at one point early in the evening, which worried me, but by the time I was ready to go to sleep, it was completely dead/quiet outside. The staff was super friendly, and the small interactions I had with the other guests were pleasant.
