Comfort or Adventure? What kind of traveler are you?
I am an introverted person and so a few years ago when I started travelling, my accommodation options were limited. Although hostels were quite popular because backpacking is so common nowadays, I never really stayed at hostels until 3 years ago. The first time I stayed at a hostel was a trip to Hong Kong. You could just imagine the rest of my story is about my discomfort. I think it was a great experience to try hostels and since then when I choose an accommodation I often choose hostels in order to test my limits, meet new friends, share stories and so on.

What kind of traveler are you? Do you prefer comfort or adventure?

I guess it depends not only on a personality: introvert or extrovert, shy or cheeky, gullible or cautious, sociable or a lone wolf and so on, but even more on age, marital status and health.
For example, a young married couple would most likely prefer if not comfort, at least being with each other, having a breakfast, rest room and shower.
Another example is a couple with children.

I myself like staying in a cozy quiet place not too far from an historic city centre. WiFi is mandatory to get in touch with an outer world, family and friends.
As for testing my limits, I see no need in it as my purpose is to enjoy a trip rather than putting myself to extreme.

When I'm travelling I only want a bed and a clean bathroom. I prefer to save money with accommodation and to spent it with news experiences as well as typicall foods, tours, shopping...

@מיכאל I see. I used to think about it that way but surprisingly I enjoyed hostels.

@Alireza I guess it also depends on who you are with.
