Only.the.location no.other it's neatness to central park.

Rosalinda, Australia

The staff was pleasant and friendly. Also the location was pretty good.

Thomas, United States of America

Nothing, staff very rude especially the African man working the front desk. He was hostile and had very bad things to say about United States to visitors and he is living in a country that is giving him better opportunities than his own country. He was also picking up male visitors and ignored females checking in.

Jennifer, Canada

- The Location - Staff when I went was nice and very informative - Near Central Park - Bed was comfortable - 24 hour reception

Josh, Canada

The location and accommodation were excellent, facilities and options around were really good as well, staff could be a little bit more friendly and polite, overall it was a good experience

Oliveiro, United Kingdom

The room is spacious enough with a desk and two arm chairs, and the bunk bed was comfortable. Plus the private bathroom was also clean.

Syed, United States of America

The front desk females, one Indian and Hispanic woman threw a customer out bc she wanted to cancel the room and switch bc she wanted to pay for a room with privacy. The Hispanic front desk clerk bantered and shouted at the customer we don't need you here, get lost get out. Horrible experience. Customer had the opportunity to see the room she booked the bed had urine and body secretion stains on the bed as well BED BUGS. The Ministry of Health needs to shut this hotel down. It's not a welcoming and clean place for tourist to stay in

Jennifer, Canada

The likes were few and far between. The price was decent I understand its NYC so its just always more than anywhere else. I did like that they were able to put my husband and I in the same room even though I had figured since we booked together that should be a given. The room size was actually a big surprise it was almost the size of an actual hotel room, So we did enjoy the space.

Reanna, United States of America

Reception staff accommodated my needs/change rooms as the other guest in my room was completely rude to me, it's super close to 86th street subway and central park

Heather, Australia

Very clean and quiet. Good location. Helpful staff.

But the staff was very very nice they tried to accommodate me as much as possible. But for $75 a night what do you expect

Too cold on the first night and too hot on the 2nd night but impossible to change anything from the room. Nobody answered me when I asked for a shuttle from the airport. I had to find my way to come to the hostel.
Good location, nice people, silent and clean place. They booked a shuttle for me from the hostel to the airport.

The central heating made a LOT of noice from 2 to 5 AM!!!!!!! So it was impossible to sleep between those hours. The bed had a stick under the thin mattress just in the middle of the bed, I’m very thin but I felt the sensation it cut me in the middle. I left the hotel a Friday but I was coming back on Monday again till Wednesday and they charged me 20usd per day to leave my luggage in a storage. After negotiations they only charged me for two nights instead of three.
The location is excellent, only 5 min from subway. Some of the receptionist are very helpful, not all of them

The room was incredibly hot. Unbearably hot - even in late November. It was impossible to get a good night’s sleep even with the window wide open because for some reason the heat is on full blast.
The staff was pleasant and friendly. Also the location was pretty good.

We didn’t like the dirtiness that we found. The room’s floor wasn’t clean and neither the bathroom, the impression we had was that they just changed the sheets from the previous costumers. The majority of the furniture was old and damaged. At the laundry room we found a cockroach
It’s a quite place. Has a good heat system. Good staff
