I stayed here for 2 nights while travelling for leisure, the staff provided good service but weren't really chatty chatty, but thats not a huge problem, check in was very fast, the facilities were outstanding such as the shower and bathrooms and it was nice to see an actual kitchen where people cook their own food, never have i seen that in a hostel, one thing with hostels is i always get put on the highest bunk possible, seeing im young and reasonably light i have no problem getting up, but most hostels have painful metal tiny ladders, the ladder in this room was wide and smooth wood, much more easy to access, the only negative experience i had was the room being incredibly stuffy at night given the current weather and being next to a load of night clubs, but other than that i believe u get what you pay for, exceptional budget accommodation
