- Blankets - you usually get just thin blanket and a bed sheet to match it. Can get cold, however I was fine. Not sure if you are cold though. Probably would have to go and ask the reception - No elevator - if you travel with a heavy bag, be prepared to carry it up the stairs to the 2-4 floor - Small lockers - lockers are best for document and other small things. Stuffing it with school bag might work but anything other than that won't fit. Buy a lock or bring one with you. Additionally, the room doesn't have that much space, so your case will be against the wall closed. - No personnel 24/7 - out of 3 nights, twice i arrived just after midnight. There was nobody at the reception. Had to rely on others to open the door for me.

- Pods - pods with rolling doors allows for more privacy than bunk bends with curtains. they allow for full darkness which helps you sleep better after whole day of sightseeing. Additionally in the pod there is: a light and fan (both regulated, so you can dim them/adjust speed), mirror, 2 usb ports and other 2 regulators which I didn't explore. The sliding door in the pods don't lock (or at least I couldn't). Btw room has its own light with also has adjustable brightness. - Bathroom - you have a small bathroom in room for 6, so it should be easier to keep it tidy but you also have the option of a common bathroom in the corridor. A towel is prepared on your bed. - Location - right next to Central Park. Nice buildings around. Subway 2 blocks away (5min walk) - People - more mature. Small groups of 5 but respectful. Others travelled in 1-3s. They were 27+ - Rooftop - you can go on a rooftop but it's for the building's square. No amazing views but can go for a smoke if you do and need one. There is no drinking/smoking on hotel premises. - Bagel morning - off you wake up early enough you might catch a morning bagel with tea/coffee, some peanut butter, milk and cereal as a good start of the day. Yes, it's free.

The dorm was a bit stinky.

Location was nice and easy to find. Its closer to central park and metro stations. It has several food spots nearby. The hostel itself was very clean. Loved the restrooms as they were equipped with hot water and soap. Towels and linens were also clean. They offered my early check-in since a bed was available

Most the times their elevator is out of order, people have their baggage they had to drag thru the stairs of 4 floor Booking.com prices for 2 days are 190% more than what hostel is charging, I stayed additional 2 days for 48$ each, whereas booking.com charged 184.50 for two days,

Location, value for money

Perhaps the insuficient number of MALE facilities in the 2nd floor compared to FEMALE and ALL GENDER. I think the 1st floor of the building might have had more additional male facilities.

The hostel was at a walk-able distance from the Line 1 Subway, Easy to get in and out. Clean facilities and a huge kitchen facilities. The idea of breaking the ice and talk to other users. Planned activities, like the tour with Phil to Tribeca. Other similar activities were included. Convenient corner-shops on Amsterdam Av to get food. Big individual LOCKERS in the dormitory. Clean areas and bilingual staff.

Nice place to say. Bed was comfortable. There is kitchen in the hostel where you can prepare meal, tea etc. Staff is friendly and offered leaving bags before check-in time.

Just the price, but it's one of the cheapest options in NYC anyway.

Nice and helpful staff, close to 103rd stations and Central Park. Beds, room and bathrooms ok. Well equipped kitchen, pool table. Nice cafe with sandwiches, coffee and hot meals available.

I wish it was more of a social hostel, most of people there were teenagers in a group trip

At one point there was no hot water in the entire 3 floor and it was so uncomfortable. Just imagine the weather in New York in cold weather and cold water.

The security is good and our room was peaceful.

I'm not sure if this happens often or if it was an exception, but on the first night, there was a guest sleeping in the bed assigned to me, and on the second night, when I arrived, I noticed that my locker had been opened and my belongings taken out. I had to go to the reception to claim them, and they apologized, saying that it wasn't common for this to happen and that they had accidentally changed my bed/locker.

It's easy and flexible to check in, the facilities look clean, it's well-maintained, there are ample and spacious showers and toilets. There's a cafeteria on the ground floor with snacks and sandwiches available.

Receptionist Joanna is so friendly. When I checked in, she gave me lots of information.

We went on winter and shower was pretty cold for a cold weather

The dormitory did not smell very good. The 2nd night, some other folks in the room opened the window, the door and the window in the corridor to create a draft and change the air. I think it would be good for rooms to be ventilated on a frequent basis. I know it was winter not long ago, but that would improve air quality.

Nice common spaces, lots of plugs to charge electric devices, friendly staff, it feels safe in the hostel. Neighbourhood offers many food options and more.

The location is great for visiting Manhattan. The subway station is a 1-minute walk away, and Central Park is a 10-minute walk away. The check-in and check-out were super easy. The staff were friendly, and I could leave my luggage in the morning and explore the city before the room was available. I had a room on the fourth floor close to the restroom and shower, but I couldn't hear any noise from outside the room.

Common spaces are quite noisy but you don’t really expect a very calm place in a hostel. However the dorm was quiet excepted from the air cond sound.

Very safe atmosphere in the hostel, it is very convenient to go to downtown with the metro, the kitchen is well equiped and clean, sandwiches sold near the reception are really good (but around 10$ each) and beds are very comfortable! This place is a good choice especially when you are travelling alone and want a safe and cosy place.

Some staff less keen to help out with questions, rooms could do with a bit of upgrading. No privacy in dorms, some showers only ran cold on our floor, air circulation unit not always going. I’m amazed at how few blankets they provide at North American hostels, ask for an extra when you check in!

So accessible to the subway and Central Park, easy to get downtown for shows, Times Square and other main sites. Walk through the park to museum mile and 5th Avenue. Staff were great and very reasonable prices for breakfast and lunch at the on site cafe. Great value in an expensive city!

Stayed in April 2024

Not my first time staying there, and I’d definitely come back, but having people on the bed that was assigned to me three times was annoying, especially after how tired I was and I had to keep going down to the lobby with 3 bags to solve that

Well located close to the train, clean and big rooms
