wombat's city is the most complete hostel i stayed in europe. they have everything: common areas, kitchen, laundry, a vending machine, a cafe, and an amazing internet connection that actually works inside of the dorms (had problems with that in other hostels i stayed). however, it's a bit pricey, under a train station (i could hear the train from my dorm), and the area is a bit sketchy after dark. you'll also have to walk quite a bit to find a supermarket and metro station. and the cafe is extremely overpriced. seriously, go eat somewhere else. literally anywhere. finally, keep in mind that it's a very youngish place, with a lot of young guests that lack basic common sense.
