This is the first time I stayed in dorm-style place. I am definitely not going to opt for this experience again. I had heard good things about the social aspects of staying at a place like this, but I am not sure if I would forego the benefits of privacy and a good night of sleep over that in the future.
The staff was helpful and friendly. But the bathrooms were not that clean, plus you have to deal with snoring roommates at night!
