Summary: I was pleasantly surprised with this hostel. When I arrived exhausted after a long trip I was greeted very kindly by the staff. I shared a dorm with 11 other girls and at first I was a bit worried about the noise but it was a very calm and relaxing atmosphere (and clean)! Everyone was very respectful. There were separate toilets and showers as well, which was great. The area around the hostel was fine and it was quite easy to take the tram to where you wanted to go.
