Well, many hostels even though they have a private room, don't have private bathrooms. There are an exceptional few that do, but mostly... no. Most hotels have private ensuite bathrooms although there are a few that do not. I would verify and not assume that because it's called a hotel that it has an ensuite bathroom. So that's something to consider if you and your girlfriend want a private bathroom.
Other than that, in hostels you have more opportunities to mingle with other travelers who are open to mingle with you in return... you are not afforded the same thing at a hotel as a different crowd tends to stay in hotels. Sometimes more family oriented also.
It really depends on the type of experience and accommodations you want...
"Steve is the prototypical cool American male. Y'know, I'm talking about Steve McGarrett, alright? Steve Austin, Steve McQueen. Y'know, he's the guy on his horse, the guy alone. He has his own code of honor, his own code of ethics, his own rules of living, man. He never, ever tries to impress the women but he always gets the girl."
If they're roughly the same price, I'd definitely go for the hostel. It's so nice being able to meet fellow travelers. People travel for different reasons, but I've always enjoyed sharing my experiences with other travelers over a couple pints.
