Really, this is an average youth hostel - emphasis on "youth." Nothing to shout about, but it's not terrible either.
I stayed here a year ago with my (same gender) partner, and we were treated very nicely by the staff. We had a private room with a private bathroom.
My partner is a picky sleeper, and he found the bed to be adequate to his needs. The room (on second floor) was located well away from the noisy area downstairs.
They provide blankets; bring your own towel. In the winter months, it can get cold; I don't think the rooms have heaters.
Note: be sure to bring your Student ID (need not be an ISIC card), it's required!
The neighborhood is not great; that is true. On the same street as the hostel, in between the hostel and the Strip, we watched a burglar running from police. In terms of safety, I made sure not to carry valuables with me when walking from the hostel to the Strip.
A few good things: 1. there's a bus stop one block from the hostel which will take you to the airport. It costs about $2.
2. There's a message board where you can connect with other guests. Through it, I found people who were renting a car and wanted to check out outlying areas of the city.
3. There is paid internet access, and all-night kitchen access. (Don't store your food in the kitchen though - it's a free-for-all.)
4. If you're looking for a cheap private room, this is the cheapest in the city for Fri-Sat, which is when the budget hotel-casinos raise their rates $20 or more. Otherwise, if you look online a month in advance, you can find equivalent deals on a regular hotel room around The Fremont Street Experience and slightly closer to The Strip.
5. If your main objective is interacting with other people, you can find opportunities at this hostel. There are benches in the kitchen where world-travellers (twentysomethings) commiserate.
