Do you have to be a certain level of young, and maybe even reckless to do this? It seems like such a different experience from staying in a nice hotel, yet all I can think of is "what if my passport/wallet/phone/laptop got stolen while I was sleeping" or such.

My dad was staying in hostels in his 60's, you can't be too old. There are many different scales too, I've been in ones with separate sleeping rooms, and some with multiple beds. It's not reckless at all, many people do it to save money, not rob people. Obviously will depend on country, but some common sense should keep you safe.
