  Everything is old, the whole Hostel would need a renovation. Only four bathrooms for 60-70 people is not enough! Some parts of the ceiling are mouldy, no opportunity to pay by card, kind of brave to have 150$ rent/week (or 100 if you're sleeping in your car or tent) around. The kitchen is also too small for so many people, parts of the equipment are old. Normally you get a job while winter very quickly, I don't know how it is in summer.
  It is ridiculous that the only time the cleaned stuff is really clean is on weekends - when the two weekend managers, backpackers as well, tidy up.
  The community area is good but also old and you can see the signs of using.
  Free WiFi is good, but it doesn't always work (probably cause too many people are using it).
  It could be a very nice place to be, but it definitly needs some more bathrooms/showers and renovations!
  I would probably give 2,5 stars if possible, but as it isn't I decided for two as there are more bad than good points at the moment.
