Staff was extremely nice and friendly. Everyone respected each other and it was very pleasant staying at this hostel. Lights out at midnight is a really good rule for those who need that extra amount of sleep. Due to the nature of this being a hostel, the people who you are with can make or break one's experience but my personal experience was that everyone was friendly and respectful. The staff even let me place my luggage free of charge the day I left and had to do last minute things around the city. Highly recommended. While I was on a business trip this time around, I would go back in a heartbeat for pleasure.
