10/10
I enjoyed my stay at CSW Hostel, but I must add that I am not a very demanding guest.
The hostel is not small, it is tiny. So if you are looking for spacious surroundings, you will not be happy here. On the other hand, if what you need is clean comfortable bed, inexpensive, and near major attractions, you will be fine here.
One difficulty that I learned to navigate was that there is only 1 toilet and sink for the maximum of twelve guests. My first day I was slow waking up and it had to wait a long time while one guest hogged the bathroom. I learned that every day more people woke up between ten and eleven a.m. so if I got in there around seven a m, i had plenty of time.
If you are seeking socialization, the hostel is too small for common meeting areas, TV rooms, etc. I stayed ten days in the hostel. About half the time I met fellow travelers who were very interesting to talk to.
One night, there was a guest who snored loudly all night long and kept all of us awake.
Be aware, management can't clean the bathroom after each use. One night, at midnight, a guest had managed to get water over everything, even the walls and it became almost unusable. I texted management and the caretaker was in cleaning the bathroom within minutes.
They try very hard to do a good job with a small space. I appreciated it.
