It was on a great location, metro lines were jut 5 and 10 mins on foot. The Central Park was also is in 10 mins. The check in and out went smoothy, having an elevator is a big advantage!

“Thoroughly enjoyed it!”
- • Leisure trip

- • Single Bed in 2-Bed Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 5 nights
Odds and ends in terms of maintenance around the building, but definitely not a deal breaker. Towels could be included in the price.
Despite the poor reviews from previous customers, we were very happy with the value we got for our money. Excellent location, hot water at any time of day and clean bedding. For what you pay and the fact that you are in New York City where everything is really expensive, this is REALLY good value for money. Don't come expecting the ritz, because you will be disappointed. But as a place to sleep and wash, this is PERFECT!

What a dump. Hard to locate the building there was no sign I guess because the neighborhood didn’t like a single room occupancy hotel and hostel in their neighborhood
near The New York historical society and Ny Natural History museum.

“Could have been worse ”

First and most disturbing thing - cockroaches... There's not a lot but I had to kill a few while staying here. Mattresses on the beds are so thin you can feel the rods holding it together so it is extremely uncomfortable to sleep. We got a thin sheet as blanket so it was pretty cold to sleep and in addition you have to pay extra for the towels.
The location is good, very convenient, neighborhood seems safe. Staff is friendly and the hostel is pretty quiet. Also restrooms are relatively clean.

I took off the sheet and saw the mattress. It had black mold, garbage residue on it and holes and tears everywhere. It looked like rats chewed on it and it was taken out from the garbage. The sheets were worse. No working lamps, horrible damaged building feels like a psych ward, bad odor in the building, filthy everything, disgusting attitude of staff. Don't even bother staying here.

The air in the room smelled of fried food and there was basicly no day light. The airconditioning was super loud and also there was some noisy building happening in inapproparite hours. The sheets were too light.
The room was very big and clean, separate closet. Location is great, upper west side is amazing.

Squeaky, noisy beds and doors. Mattress too thin for bed frame. Kitchen not very good for food prep. Had refrigerator and microwave and hot plate. Bathroom didn’t have hand soap - doesn’t encourage good sanitation. For two people I would have done better to spend a little more for a lot more comfort.
Close to 3 trains, good safe location Decently clean. Didn’t wait long for showers. Able to store bags after checkout.

It’s very close to Central Park: just step out and a few blocks away here you are. The price was also nice because it’s impossible to find a property at such a price on Manhattan. Free coffee is provide and that’s a bonus.
