Positive: The hostel was tidy and clean in general. The bathroom were in good condition and there were a number of bathrooms and toilets available. The internet was good and it is right next to the tram stop which is convenient.
Negative: It can get loud on a Saturday evening as it is right next to a bar but I used ear plugs so it wasn't too bad. Without it you might struggle to sleep.
Summary: Clean and tidy hostel
