“Great for what it is!”

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.

눉Staff did not care about kitchen supplies however when asked they provided washing liquid. There were not enough cutlery. No soap in the bathrooms. The waste basket in the room was not emptied for a week. TV in the kitchen room always so loud. Staff could be friendlier and nicer.
눇Perfect location near Central Park, super close to several subway stations and lines. Spacious room. Quite clean. Possibility to cook. Wifi signal OK in the lobby, upstairs not. Staff OK. Shops nearby.

Pleasant

눉Crazy expensive, but I guess this is what you pay for the location! I didn't use the services, however the breakfast is only tea and coffee, which could be a bit more -a toast maybe? The top bunk does not have access to power, and the staff was not present in the morning to put the luggage in the storage.
눇The location is superb - between Broadway and Amsterdam, with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. I took a shuttle from the airport, directly to the hostel's doorstep.

눉Could be a bit cleaner. Otherwise it's low budget hostel, but still pretty expensive for what you get. I've seen worse place than this one, after reading all reviews here on booking.com, I was actually pretty surprised that it's not that bad after all.
눇Location was good, nearby subway station and approx 10 mins walk to Central Park. Room was clean, but sometimes we found hair of previous guests, bathroom was clean enough, but I recommend to take a flip flops or something you can use in shower, because of hair and so on. Wifi was okay.

눉Bed was very uncomfortable, blanket was thin as paper, no heater in room. Bathroom closest to my room (205) did not lock, took me a while to realize there was another bathroom around the corner I could use. Bathrooms were not exceptionally clean.
눇Cheap place to stay. Relatively clean and nice in a great location. Friendly/helpful staff.

“Indifferent, if functional”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Bed in 2-Bed Dormitory Room with Private Bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
눇Given that I know next to nothing about New York city, I found the Upper West Neighborhood to be pleasant and friendly. I think this Hostel is fine as long as you are a 20 something year old backpacker. Perhaps, because I am not this any more, the hostel seemed kind of weird. Could not detect much love here anyway. Indifference, at best. Maybe the owners are going through some kind of personal/financial crisis, hence the hostel giving me this "soul-less" vibe feeling. On the plus side, I found it hygienic and clean and meets the basic needs of a stop-over or flying visit.

“Very basic facilities, bad wifi access, great location.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Bed in 2-Bed Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The Wifi didn't work anywhere apart from the ground floor so everyone was crowded into the kitchen area by reception to get Wifi. Room felt like a prison cell as it was furnished to the most basic degree- crucially no locker facilities within the room to store belongings securely. Only one shower and toilet functioning on my floor (floor 3) with the other one out of order. The working toilet did not have toilet paper for the duration of my stay (8pm-11am).
눇The excellent location of this hostel was one redeeming factor, as there is little else good to say about it. Located very close to central park, the location was definitely the best feature. A member of staff was also helpful in helping me get to JFK airport by printing out the subway route. Essentially what was to be expected when you pay $63 for a night in central Manhattan.

눉air conditioning didn't work, wi-fi was terrible and the overwhelming sense of filth was not helping. only one outlet in the room was working which was inconvenient because we were two in a room.
눇close to many stores and restaurants and the 86th street subway station that can take you just about anywhere.
