We were traveling in a group of 9 and looking for a convenient inexpensive place to stay for 5 nights. Downtown Forest Hostel provided just that. We were warmly received at the reception. The host was helpful and pleasant. The outdoor courtyard was lovely and all in all we had a very positive experience. The only negative was that our shower didn't drain properly and water ran out onto the floor and spread into the bedroom. But apparently not one of us reported this, so how would they know in order to remedy the situation.
