The area is ok, I didn’t feel like I couldn’t walk back alone at night, it was more like I shouldn’t. I did though.
The hostel itself was decent, the mixed dorms were nicer than the female only dorm (mixed dorms had code lockers, the female only had school style lockers that couldn’t be locked). The house the hostel is in is older and could use a good deep clean - nothing egregious just definitively not clean. The water kind of tasted weird when brushing teeth, maybe old pipes, and the showers had weak water pressure.
They did have a luggage storage area with a camera pointing at it in the foyer. Each bed has a bin in the big fridge for any food you want to store there. They have reasonable quiet hours, it’s just some guests didn’t follow them and none of the staff enforced it. The staff stay in the hostel, too, and I had one of the staff barge into the room I was in after a clear night of drinking, speaking so loudly with a friend that it woke me at 2:30am.
