“You're paying for the location in this place, don't expect anything else”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Bunk Bed Room Semi-private bathroom
- • Stayed 4 nights
If you stay here, please be a nice guest! I would say most of the problems we encountered are because people leave bathrooms very nasty in some cases, so clean up after your own mess. The hostel facilities are really worn down, some renovations would be appreciated, specially since the place is not cheap! I mean, we didn't expect anything fancy, but the photos in Booking where probably taken 20 years ago! The mattresses on the bunk beds are really bad, you can feel the springs in them. The hallways are very noisy, and since the doors are old, you can always hear people coming and going the whole night.
The location of this place is awesome, close to subway stations, Times Square and Broadway theatres; and of course Central Park. I would recommend that you get the "semi-private" bathroom option if you can, and if you want extra "privacy": the bathrooms are also shared with the people that stay on your floor, but each have a sink, toilet and shower inside, not like the usual hostel-like bathrooms where everything is in a big hall. Also there is AC in the rooms and a small TV.
