If you want to go to a place that looks like people go there to either have sex or get high, then this is the place for you. I did not feel safe, comfortable, or welcome there. I had been told that staying in hostels can be wonderful experiences, and this was far from it. If this hostel was "upscale", I do not want to see one that's not. My money would have been much better spent if I had chosen to go with a place even slightly more expensive. I guess that's what I get for needing to pinch pennies. I have a bad taste in my mouth for hostels now and never want to go to one again.
