Not exactly what I imagined but it did its job. I have never stayed in a hostile before but I found it to be quite neat. I got to meet all kinds of people from all over the world. The bathroom was very clean, the kitchen not so much. However I stayed there for just a couple days and some cleaned everyday. It is hard to keep up after several people so I get it. I ended up making a friend in my roommate. I would stay there again.
