I feel any of these huge hostels offering hundreds of beds have moved beyond the traditional young backpacker market, and are now firmly placed in the budget hotel market. This is no bad thing, it's just a different market to what people might be expecting from a hostel. More along the lines of say a Travelodge hotel here in the UK.
