Positive: Staff are nice, the first floor decorations are off the charts they're absolutely crazy, best I've ever seen. They do the hostel slogans justice, that's non-negotiable. It's a treat to just walk around and take it in, they even have a cigarette automat! Other than that the stuff are awesome.
Negative: Too much of a party hostel for my taste. I don't appreciate it when people talk loudly and have the music on past 10pm, but I also get that's what traveling groups do in the cheapest hostel around so that's alright. Just be aware of the more than slightly deprived quality of sleep you will have here. More technical: Lockers cost you money, like easily around 10 Franks if you store your stuff for more than a day, be prepared. Showers are meh, not the worst I've seen but pretty close honestly.
Summary: Meh
