For the price, my family had a good experience. The building is very ethnic, filled with Indian and Middle Eastern sellers and stands, but we did not find them scary like some reviews say. The elevator was slow and crowded, but the longest we waited was ~10 minutes, not up to an hour like others said. The staff at the family-run hostel are friendly, and although the space is small they clean it daily so it was livable. The only issues we had were that the bathroom didn't have hot water as the water heater in our room was broken, and the bathroom door didn't close, but it was still bearable for a 2 night stay.
