Previous stays were OK. It's a hostel, so cheap and usually OK. But I won't be back. Paid $57 for no sleep.

Jeff

Really good for trips alone or with some friends. It’s in a good location. The rooms are clean and good. There are lockers so you can lock your things inside one of them.

Gabriel

The staff is really helpful, and the bathrooms are equipped with everything (body wash and shampoo, even a hairdryer!!!). The location is excellent, just near a subway station. And the price is really affordable. Would recommend.

The staff incredibly friendly, room was good for me to get enough sleep after going out for the day, location is perfect nearby metro subway so its easy to get around. I ended up staying for 2 weeks just because i feel like this property is really perfect for my budget. Thank you so much for accommodating me. I will be back for sure when i visit new york next time.

I’ve been to a Hi Hostel before and I’m glad I trusted them again. Location, cleanliness and quality are really great! I loved the patio and the movie room. Plus, an amazing shout out to the computer and printer available, it is so handy have this available last minute.
