Traditionally, Hell is actually a Kingdom, not just a description.
What are your beliefs, if any, concerning this?

I think that there's no good reason to believe that anything we could reasonably call "us" literally survives our deaths, let alone that we end up in any sort of Hell.

We are reborn. Depending on our actions we will either come into a good next life or a challenging one still of suffering (birth/age/sickness/death). There are many stages of hell and heaven according to Buddhist cosmology. The better term is the The Thirty-one Planes of Existence. It is very extensive.
Here is a tid bit for abrahamics and their offshoots: These are realms of unimaginable suffering and anguish (described in graphic detail in MN 129 and MN 130). Should not be confused with the eternal hell found in other religious traditions, since one's time here is — as it is in every realm — temporary.
It simply does not exist outside ancient mythology.
