Location and the water temperature and soaps were awesome

William, South Africa

Hard time to sleep people get in and out all the time. Noisy place to sleep. If someone snoring you gonna hear through out the floor. The bathroom don’t clean because splashing water from the room.

Joonlapak, United States of America

The room was very quaint. The shared bathroom was right outside my door.

Lenae, United States of America

The location is a huge advantage. It’s close to almost everything midtown/ downtown. SoHo, and East Village are within walking distance. Just like others mentioned, the room was small yet comfortable enough to fall asleep. Regarding the size, you get what you pay for. The rooftop is really great, got some amazing views of the city.

Ravi, United States of America

There is a leisure area, where you can spend your time with other guests (there is no food service). On the roof you can take a sit and relax yourself - nice view into city. The best what I met in the hotel was stuff. Greetings to you guys, so nice, friendly and helpful people!!

Grzegorz, Ireland

Location and terrace! Daniel at the front desk was nice and they let you keep your luggage on their storage room for free which is very helpful. Bathrooms are fair clean and bedsheets also white and clean.

Carlos, Ecuador

Rooftop. Great value for price. Common area. Location - great to walk into Chinatown, Little Italy, SoHo and the East Village. Easy walk from Subway; take Q70 from LGA and catch the F or M train to Broadway-Lafayette station. The cabins are a pretty cool idea but you have to know what you're getting into. Fortunately, I read the reviews and descriptions and very little surprised me. Staff was great. Ask for an extra pillow. You'll need it. Also ask for an extra blanket when it's cold. You'll need it too and they'll happily provide. PS - be courteous and don't slam the damn doors if you stay here :).

Joe, United States of America

It was my first time staying in a hostel and it was a fun thing to do. The Bowery neighborhood was really cool to be in. I stayed for one night and the room is really small, so if you have issues with that I would avoid getting the cheapest room.

Olivia, United States of America

The building and neighbourhood have a lot of history. I liked going to The Butcher’s Daughter for breakfast. It’s right around the corner. The location was pretty convenient as well.

Matthew, Canada

Good heating and always looked and smelt clean. If you're going to stay in a hostel, this is a great one. Also the staff were very accommodating and gave us a complimentary bag check before we headed to the airport/.

There is no lock to the main entrance, so anyone can enter the house and get onto the floors. It would be nice to have the main entrance locked. There was one weirdo who smoked in the room at night violating the hotel’s rules but no action was taken against him.
The location is a huge advantage. It’s close to almost everything midtown/ downtown. SoHo, and East Village are within walking distance. Just like others mentioned, the room was small yet comfortable enough to fall asleep. Regarding the size, you get what you pay for. The rooftop is really great, got some amazing views of the city.

“A great alternative if traveling alone to NY in peak season”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
The steps up to the reception are an exercise with the luggage. I'd avoid the rooms close the bathroom (you can hear the people in/out all night). It was not a surprise, the room is small (as described) so small that you would have liked more space to change your clothes.
Considering the other options during high season (prices go crazy in NYC!!!), this place is a good alternative for a short stay if traveling alone to NY during peak season. It was like staying in a camp, you have your own bed, plus small space. And you have to be considerate to the others by not making any noise (everything can be heard). No usage of alarms, for a wake up a request should be made to the reception. Ear plugs are provided which is nice. The 24hrs living area with a TV and comfortable leather couches and vending machines, and windows overlooking the street (no windows in the room) are a good place for using the phone or surfing the net. Staff are very nice and courteous. Place is clean (no bed bugs like I've read in a comment thanks to Allah). Bed linens and towels are over washed, but clean never the less. Net was good in reception and room areas. Temperature was right in December (not cold, and not too warm). Bathroom was not busy when needed (Don't forget your flip flops). location is good.
