The location is excellent. Very close to the metro station, central park, museums and cafes. The room was very big. I shared the room with 10 other people, but there was enough space for all of us.

Gabriela Canada

I loved the location, prices, and the fact that I got to meet people around from the world!

Alicia United States of America

Everything, but the morning cold showers. Tankless water heaters would be a good idea.

Joseph United States of America

I like the location because it’s very calm and it feels peaceful at night which it’s very important to me. besides, the hostal it’s really close to the Line 1 of the Metro and it’s really easy to move around

I like to stay in hostels when I travel alone, so I've been to many. This place has it together, the shared spaces and bathrooms were great. I meet a lot of people, went to the comedy show, enjoyed the back yard and cafe. The only complaint I have is the smell. I can see that the staff works really hard at keeping the place clean, but for some reason it just smells a little funky. But I would definitely return, if I'm ever back that way.

Sabrina United States of America

love the location especially! the hotel was very close to the Central Park. Staff was friendly.

Nargiza United Arab Emirates

I stay quite often, just missed a stay due to health and loss of my wallet, but the hostel is excellent if you are visiting NYC, transit and food places are a few minutes away,there are many things to see and do in the city, and you can get there pretty quick

Mellow United States of America
