Pros (+) This is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff is great, and they foster an awesome community vibe there. The building is clean, and actually a very charming space. It felt like home away from home. Also, they have free meals sometimes, which is fabulous! All you have to do is help to cook and clean up the mess! Loved it!
Cons (-) Baltimore is not exactly the safest city I've ever been to, nor is it a particularly glamorous place... but that is certainly not the hostel's fault! I think the staff did a good job of showing off the best parts of Baltimore to guests.
