Hostels are as diverse like the cities they're found in. Most have both shared and private rooms and are usually well secured especially by the fact those who stay there are on the same economic boat. That's not to say there aren't thieves but for the most part the hostel community is on the same boat of traveling, learning, and having fun doing it.

It's the 21st century, very little is cash only. A young traveler today knows the value in debit cards vs. carrying too much cash.

Some have one bathroom shared by all genders [[one person at a time), most have separate bathrooms for men and women.

Some hostels can feel very corporate like [[i.e. spick 'n span with rules) and others are very chill, unique places.

It just depends.
