The price & location! This property is less than one block off Times Square. Hotels in Times Square start at three times price and go up from there. I've never stayed in a hostel prior but this was a good experience. There are six floors served by an elevator, a kitchen with cooking facilities and a refrigerator, and free wireless internet (serving the main and lower floors - this signal doesn't carry to upper floors). Right next door is a 24-hours deli that with very reasonable prices, breakfast cooked to order, and a large dining room upstairs. All the management and housekeeping personnel were very polite and helpful. I would stay here again. Book early. This is definietly a older building that shows its age. Everything functions well. It could benefit from a total update and makeover but then prices would likely increase to recoup the cost of the upgrade.

I liked the price and the close location to Times Square. The bathrooms were not equipped with soap, which I was not expecting. Also, the staff were not the most friendly.

We are a family of 5 adults, who stayed at the Big apple for 15 nights. We found the location to be excellent. The facilities were clean and adequate for our needs. We would be very happy to stay here again. The kitchen could have more equipment- plates, utensils, teatowels, dish cloths available.

The best advantage is the location. All Manhattan is within the reach and walking distance. The bathrooms are rather clean. No gueues if one is an early riser. The staff is mostly friendly and helpful. I found it strange that the guests had to pay $5 for a used towel. No information that towels are not supplied along with sheets was provided prior to my arrival there.

Staff, ranging from Receptionist to houskeepers in the lanudry room, is informative, helpful and willing to accomodate your stay e.g. arrange for same sex dorm as requested, booking a shuttle bus to/from Airport, help for operating washer/dryer. Its facilities are compact yet well functioning. Clean bathroom and no que during the whole of my stay. Location is very convenient, in the middle of Time Square, and about 5 minute walk to subway. I stayed in the dorm room which is highly recommended for Solo traveller as value for money. Noise from the street. No locker in the dorm room. Bunkbed always shaked and made noise everytime one moving. Blanket was thin and didn't look clean.

Good location, just around the corner from Times Square. Highly overpriced, private room costs more than very good quality room in other hotels.Bathroom was clean, but only bath towels were supplied, I had to buy a soap and a toothbrush.

I can't point excepcional experiences about the Hotel during my stay, other than the perfect localization. Even so, I am really glad to have chosen this hotel, because on the overall my stay was what we really expect when we decide to stay lodged in a Hostel. For sure its price worth it: a place where you can take a good rest after a whole day walking As I had been told, the receptionists dont treat you that well. Not a big deal, though.

The staff is awful!!! It`s stunningly awful. I was hosted there, called them, the woman on the front desk recognized me, mocked on me (for real) and hang up on me.They aren`t either polite nor efficient. It`s located one block away from the Times square, but not close to a subway. u r gonna wake up with the shell-work noise. must avoid!!!!!

It was a great place to meet people from all around the world. And the location was great. The staff was very rude all the time, they didn´t help me or the others I met there at all. They only wanted your money and they didnt care if you needed something.

部屋の暖房も適温で、タバコの臭いもなく快適に過ごせました。私は四人部屋(二段ベッド二つ設置)でしたが- 、空いているところであれば好きな所を使用することになります。パイプベッドなので二階部分は面白いくらい- に揺れますが、マットレスは柔らかめで寝心地がよかったです。部屋には貴重品boxはないのでロビーに預け- ることができます。

Ciao mi chiamo Roberta ed assieme alla mia amica Debora abbiamo soggiornato 4 notti al Big Apple Hostel, l'ostello è abbastanza accogliente, le lenzuola ed asciugamani puliti. La posizione è fantastica, a circa 50 metri da Time Square, ci trovavamo a Manhattan esclusivamente per lo shopping, quindi avevamo tutto a portata di mano... L'unico neo dell'Ostello, che non è causa di esso ma dalle persone, è la mancanza di rispetto nelle ore notturne della gente che dorme.

Il est très bien placé, à côté de Times Square. La propreté des sanitaires communs laissait un peu à désirer, c'était moyen. Attention, après une inspection des services sanitaires américains vendredi 3 juin 2011 après-midi, l'hôtel a été fermé, jugé insalubre. Il ne rouvrira qu'après travaux de mise en conformité.

区位非常好。 房间虽然小,也够用了。同屋的女生一直要到12点以后才回来,让我没怎么睡好。房间里似乎有虫,反正我被咬- 了很多个包。为了省钱,也是没有办法的事情。
