The location was excellent and I found the staff quite welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend to other travelers.
I did not like the fact that there was no bathroom in the dorm rooms. The toilets and showers were right next to the dorms but still, you had to go outside to get to them.

It was my first experience at a hostel. We had a private room with private bath which was as expected. I can't speak to the dorms and shared bath. The location is in the middle of the "locals" area of Hopkins, near restaurants and the beach.

Clean, nice covered area and kitchen. Close to stores and shops as well as a 2 min walk to beach. And it’s a great location for the beach.
Staff were friendly. Bathrooms were good, shower was large. Rooms were clean and beds comfy.
Noisy. Late at night you can hear people talking in main area. Someone was rustling bottles late at night and some guests did not sleep. They chatted all night. You can hear everything including the traffic and people.
People were allowed to smoke in the main area and for those who don’t it was quite unpleasant when trying to enjoy your food and someone is smoking right beside you. People rip by early in the morning like 3-5am on their motorcycles or vehicles.
