I was not offered one of the female only rooms so I did not know the rooms would be mixed or that there was an option until I left. Every hostel I have been previously was separate male and female but this one has either option (nobody informed me beforehand) so I had not thought to ask. I had hoped to make some friends that were girls being a female traveling alone and was put in a room with only one or two men several nights in a row. After asking to move somewhere else I was told I could not be moved even though the hostel was not full. I was given no real answer why not besides computer issues. My experience was awkward and I was frustrated I had to explain myself. All the visitors I met were friendly but make sure you ask about options before you book if you do not want to be put in this situation. The hostel is otherwise a clean and comfortable place to stay with mostly very cool and helpful staff.
