very clean, and so many interesting people from different countries staying there. nice facilities for lounge, patio, kitchen, storage lockers, theater room, cafe. you never felt alone, while still having nice amount of privacy. I was in an all female room with four beds. we had keys to our room just like a hotel, I felt totally safe.

Maqdoni Jordan

Close to the Subway, super clean, felt safe, absolutely recommended - will stay again here!

Anita Switzerland

Very clean and orderly. Just wish there were supplies available, such as toothbrushes, tooth paste, wash cloth, perhaps shower cap. However still very satisfied! Staff friendly enough. Location satisfactory.

Kim United States of America

The common spaces allow to meet people from everywhere (pool table, a TV, some couches). Free comedy shows were also held on some nights during the week. The bathroom was clean, and everything was provided. The subway station is close which was convenient to visit a lot of places in New York.

Gaelle France

Loved everything about the hostel. Great location. Excellent property - the patio, the lounge, the common room, the organized kitchen. Everything was wonderful. I've stayed in hostels all across the world, and honestly I wasn't expecting much in a city like NYC. But wow, I was just stunned. Absolutely exceptional place.
