Bathroom is not clean, lockers have no lock at all, not organized (should be arranged one locker to each bed instead of random use), I failed to find a locker as all were occupied, perhaps some people used more than one

Just Okay

The hostel was average--not especially inspiring or sparkling clean, but okay for two nights. The downsides: my room was quite humid/damp; and there were too many easy access points for anyone to get in without a security card (e.g. the ground floor bathroom area door was left open while people smoked, and the side door/late night entrance could easily facilitate a break-in, unfortunately). I was impressed by how quiet my room was, though; even though it was right near the kitchen, I couldn't hear any noise from that common area at night.
