It was the dirtiest hostel I have ever stayed in, but I will say that it had the social atmosphere......but in my books, that doesn't make up for it.......do something about the bathrooms, they are a serious health hazard.

There are some good things about this hostel: the staff, the bar.
But the building is falling down, it's a really unclean hostel, the bathrooms are small and uncomfortable, lockers are not free (and they're not maintained, so there's like 5 for everyone).
The fourth worse hostel I've been in (from, say, around two hundred -in two years-)

This place was the filthiest establishment I have ever set foot in. Bathrooms had mould all over the walls, and in the week I stayed I think they were cleaned once, which was a half baked effort. Key cards stopped working every day without fail so had to get them re-programmed every day. Staff were fairly friendly, but many seemed to be fellow travellers so didn't really know anything about the city. If all you want to do is party and have [--] with strangers then this is probably the place for you, if not, go somewhere else.

Staff were the best, close to everything and the housekeepers were funny and helpful.
All that plus an in-house bar!
