I was under the assumption that hostels were for an age range, focusing primarily on young adults. It was my first experience to have older individuals in my room which made the complaining and nagging more prevelant. As well as lack of understanding of a shared space. When with younger crowds it was more of an understanding that the space is shared and there are certain respectable actions such as being mindful of lights at night or leaving bedroom doors open and unlocked

No activities at this hostel to facilitate interaction with other travelers. No sightseeing options. So basically it is just accommodation. I would have loved if there was some organized event or something to be able to explore with other travelers.

I was a little skeptical about going to a hostel seeing as I've never stayed in one. Once I entered I automatically. Felt comfortable and I shared a room with one other person in a 4bed and we got a long great, we walked around the neighborhood which is in a great area and it's nice and quiet. All I have to say is if you have time during your stay explore the neighborhood on foot and find out what you find. Thank you Morty Rich Hostel for a great weekend!
