This was a little cottage like in a submarine or dorm room. There was a lot of stairs. You used both a private and a public restroom. It was restricted no visitors, no music, no talking on your phone in the bedroom you did everything except eating in the lobby. But it was cool. Easy access to few tourist spots. If you are on a budget this place is definitely it. and your items are safe for luggage, left over.

Keresa, Jamaica

Great location, good price. The common room was really nice. I enjoyed seeing how they renovated the historic rooming house. Neat experience staying there. Would recommend more for short-term travel though.

Mel, Canada

The front desk people I interacted with were very nice and timely! I wasn’t in the hostel much due to work, but they made it a point to tell me all the rules I needed to know for “after hours”

Kayli, United States of America

The location was right in the center of several ethnic areas. We would walk to Chinatown, cross the street and be in Little Italy. Korea town and others were within a mile radius. The personnel were friendly and helped us to locate restaurants in the area. Yes there was street noise but we brought ear plugs and slept through it. I bring ear plugs whenever I travel so it was no big deal. It was nice to hear the street noise which could also be captured from the rooftop porch. Everything was super clean and the patrons were courteous of observing the noise levels. I really loved the shampoos and body wash available in the showers and the soft, plush robes provided.

Carrie, United States of America

I've stood at cubby hole hotels before and this place was like that but much cleaner and well kept. Friendly staff. I would stay again without a hesitation.

Tracy, United States of America

Ok I'll be honest the bed was just right, believe me!! After sleeping on the couches for 2yrs and then some,it was great.

Pepper, United States of America

The location is great. The price is good for Nyc.

Sean, United States of America

Decor, staff, ambiance, cleanliness all perfect., I really liked the renovation they did on this building.

Mark, United States of America

I liked that it was very close to the subway and a good value for the price. The staff was very nice and helpful in answering my questions and I liked that reception was open 24/7. I didn't get a chance to stay very long on the roof garden since it's winter, but I bet that will be super fun in the summer.

Lauren, United States of America

The beds are comfortable and the place is clean. The lounge area by the front desk is nice. The showers are warm, have good pressure and lovely smelling toiletries.

Rooms were like small boxes and without ceiling, so you could hear everything happening in the rest of the floor: closing doors, drunk guests, people in and out the whole night, snores... Also, rooms where so small than you couldn’t even open the bag on the floor. Our room was lucky to have a window out, but it was an exception. Also, the window wasn’t well noise isolated so sleeping at night was really difficult. In our floor only 2 showers to share. They charged us 10 dollars to keep our luggage as we had to spend the day out before our departure when it’s a service that is normally included.
Location was perfect and toilets/showers well prepared with towels, gel, shampoo...

“Great place for young people fresh in the city armed with only a backpack to rest their head. Hostel”
- • Business trip

This place is a hostel, and was accidentally booked by my place of work as a hotel stay because of being listed in your website. It is a HOSTEL not a HOTEL. If you only have a backpack and don’t mind having ZERO privacy (open ceilings) then this place will be fine. If you are an adult heading to NYC for business and need privacy, no quiet time curfew and do not like shared showers / bathrooms then this isn’t the place for you.
The front desk person was friendly

“OK to sleep if you need a shelter - hostels with bunk beds are way better”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Original Cabin
- • Stayed 1 night
- As said before - wayyyyy to hot, don't go in summer! - Could be noisy though the guests the night i stayed were respectful - i did hear a girl sleep talking/moaning - I wouldn't stay here more than 1 night - feels like a prison - Couldn't lay my suitcase down and had to put it on the bed to open it - Not good value for money - I paid £73 for a night whilst The Ace (luxury boutique hotel) charges £120. For £40 more this is a bargain for what you get in comparison. - The hairdryer i asked to borrow was a european one - i.e wrong voltage no power, took me an hour to dry my hair in extreme heat - 3/4? flights on stairs with super heavy suitcase - no help, was so scared of falling
The location was excellent - a great area to explore for younger people

Dirty/dark washrooms, kind of smelled like a fish bowl. Water in the showers only had one temperature and in the mornings it was SCALDING hot. Too hot to really enjoy the shower. Had to just turn it on and off and hop in/out a couple of times. Same issue with all the showers in the women's room. It would also have been nice if there was a communal fridge or someplace to store food on the property.
Great location, good price. The common room was really nice. I enjoyed seeing how they renovated the historic rooming house. Neat experience staying there. Would recommend more for short-term travel though.
