Wonderful

  : perfect location, clean and comfortable, great valuelet me leave my bag for the day as well
  : mini fridge would be good but not a deal breaker, reception closes at 16:00 so have to check in before then

Poor
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : The receptionist was very polite and willing to help as much as he can. Affordable place (not the cheapest) to rest your head only for one night and don't expect much more.
  : The bathroom needs renovation and deep cleaning; you have to push the tap to get water only for one second. The sink and toilet hardly pass out any water, as the pipes were blocked. No toilet paper or soap. It was a bit noisy from the banging doors of the photocopy shop in the Hostel! I barely saw any staff, we sort of took care of ourselves. Odd location, Cobwebs on wall spiders. Wifi was terrible. The shower was not warm enough or powerful enough. The hostel is located in an unsafe area near gambling office with a dark entrance, the Bed is not very comfortable and very low. Soundproofing could definitely be better, both to the outside and other rooms. You still be able to hear other guests late at night.

Disappointing
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : Markale market was around the corner and a grocery next to it. Convenient for walking the Old Town. The Hostel was set back from the main road in an alleyway so it was very quiet.
  : The heating worked intermittently. My main disappointment was that the hostel was down little alleyways that were very poorly lit at night, with broken paving stones and trash on the sides. I am a solo woman traveler and did not feel safe leaving the hostel when it was dark. I felt that this restricted my movements and enjoyment of the city. The room and especially the shower could use a good cleaning.
