눉Well... there is a lot to complain. But you choose hostels not hotel for their lower price. Anyway, for this price I've been in much better places.
눇Great location. Within short walking distance to Central Park and within quick subway journey to downtown Manhattan. The subway station is a block away. You can get to airport in truely reasonable time. Reception staff was really nice and helpful. I stayed in double room which is not common in hostels.

눉The bed was very uncomfortable, it was like sleeping on springs. The shared bathroom freaked me out, it was so dirty. Not worth the money. Do not go by the photos posted they are very misleading.
눇The location.

눉The bathroom, and just the fact to sleep with a complete stranger. That was a little scary.
눇The price and the staff, was very nice.

“Becareful with hidden fees/taxes”
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Bed in 2-Bed Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
눉- Very unfriendly and unhelpful staff; - Facilities are old and depreciated; - Price for a night stay advertised as US$52 / night; when I paid, I was charged US$ 63 / night (taxes were included, adding up to 21% (?!?!) are taxes in New York that high? To me that sounded as a hidden fee)
눇Location and price.

“Good Location, Not Much More”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The mattresses were so thin my friend and I put them together to try to equal one regular, still crappy mattress. There were just sheets, like hospital quality sheets, and no blankets. There was a hard bar right in my back on the bed. The pillows were also incredible thin and had to be doubled over to use. The towels were like thin hand towels. I saw two cockroaches in the room over the 4 nights we were there. None of the bathrooms had everything they needed, either no soap or no toilet paper or no hand dryer, no hooks or anything to put things on while showering or anything. The staff was pretty nice after talking, but seemed cold at first.
눇I liked the location, so close to central park and to many of the restaurants and things I wanted to do. Working air conditioning, which I could not have lived without. Nice paint and colors. Had lockers in the room, a set of drawers, a couple of lamps, and curtains. Saw people cleaning the bathrooms often, and there were 2 bathrooms really close to the room so once was always open.

“Great for what it is!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Bed in 2-Bed Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 8 nights
눉Wifi in the rooms would have been fantastic, as there's not a lot of room to sit in the common area. The bathrooms require more maintenance than they're currently getting, some of them were a little gross but it's really not that terrible. The beds are very, very uncomfortable. As someone with bad hips, my eight night stay was not particularly restful, as they're foam mattresses, not springs.
눇There are few things to like about this place, but they make up for most of the bad bits. Firstly, it's dirt cheap. If you can't figure out that $50 a night in the upper west side is probably not going to be a five star hotel, this place isn't for you. The rooms are nicely sized, with only two people to a room, and a big window and space to store your stuff somewhat adequately. My room had a sink, and a bench too. They also had coffee available in the morning. The wifi worked well, but not on the upstairs levels.

눉Small roaches welcoming me every time I came back to the room from a long absence.
눇The proximity to the metro, the area where is located, the ambiance inside. That they didn't use extreme A/C and the beds were nice and clean.

“Hostile Hostel (not really hostile, but not good--I just like alliteration)”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉I expected to see a clean, updated space like the photos depicted. The room was dark, and very hot even with the window air conditioner going full blast. The locker was broken. The elevator is ancient and I wasn't sure it was going to make it, though it supposedly passed inspection in April. I asked for a refund and I was told I'd get one, though I haven't checked my credit card yet.
눇The two ladies at the desk were helpful. One was obviously training the other.
