4/10 Poor

My honest opinion is this place is outdated, low in overall comfort and overpriced for a hostel. I booked away from city centre as I was traveling home overseas the next day and needed my rest. I got anything BUT rest here. The walls are so thin and no one respects quiet hours here.
I have stayed in many hostels, but this was the first I ever experienced being bunked with loud and disrespectful bunkmates. I was asleep before they barged into the room at 22:30 and carried on for almost 45 minutes before heading out to party. The front desk was pitiful. They told me only if they were loud after quiet hours (which apparently is 23:00 when I have only ever experienced 22:00) that could they do anything. They tried to hand me ear buds and then word for word said to me, "what do you expect, people come here to party." I took this as, "Deal with it."
That does NOT make it OK for people to be disrespectful of those who are clearly trying to rest. It IS possible to get ready late and respect others trying to rest! The same bunkmates came back at 4am from being out all night and made a bunch of noise for at least 15 minutes before it quieted down.
To worsen my experience, I discovered the showers turned off every 20 seconds. It was cold in the washroom and there was no way to adjust the temperature of the water. It was so hot that I could not even enjoy my shower after the little rest before traveling.
Sad to say, I will not be returning to stay here.
