Lovely place to stay if you would like to meet more people, and i can recommend getting breakfast at Whole Foods not so far away, on the 808 Columbus Avenue... :)

Broadway Hotel n Hostel was great. The staff is really polite and helpful, from the front desk to the keepers. Wi-Fi is free and there's always people in the lounge chilling, having a beer or something. The room was always clean and everything was in order. There are delis, breakfast places and markets nearby so that helps a lot too. We`ve had some good times at this hostel.

The hostel is a great location for young people traveling on budget. Rooms have been clean and safe (they heated even heated a lot, we had less than 32° outside and ran around in T-Shirts). Staff has been friendly and helpful, even gave us advices how to get around.

The bed was really comfortable and so were the pillows. The shower head in our room (426) needs replaced and I felt like you guys kind of nickle and dimed me I was overall satisfied. Your staff was all friendly and helpful and should be commended.

Hostel was well located to the subway, central park and quick trip to the centre of tines square. The 2 bed dorms makes it easier to make the decision to stay in a dorm.

My experience was terrible in terms of customer service and cleanliness. The location is convenient and other travelers provided a fun atmosphere. However, I arrived in early evening and found that no one was working at the front desk, despite a line of others waiting to check-in and receive their keys. I finally received the key to my room, only to sleep in dirty sheets and be awoken in the night by bugs falling from the ceiling. Complained to management, to no avail. Not recommended.

I thought this hostel was great! Very nice lobby and lounge. The staff was really friendly and helped my friend book a shuttle to JFK. They also helped me retrieve her phone when she lost it. I've stayed in various hostels and this one was definitely a favorite. My friend and I had our own room and a shared bathroom. The rooms were cleaned everyday with fresh blankets and towels (which I loved!). Comfortable beds and our own sink and mirror in the room. Really great place.

Lovely character downstairs, nothing like any hostel I've ever seen. The rooms are quite small and just an average hostel room. Absolutely fine for NYC. One of the guys on door duty was wonderful.

Location is excellent and a few steps to catch bus and a few walk to take metro. It's in a good neighborhood and you do not feel afraid to come back hostel in dark. Downside it is insufficient shower and toilet in each floor when I am staying in a mixed dorm room.

Great location, very pleasant staff, very courteous. Only issue is with the noise from the street below. the window let all noise in and next time I will request a room at the back of the building. Also the door from the elevator to the hallway rooms should be put on a slower close as everytime someone came through the door it slammed shut. very disruptive during the night - especially with the young folk coming in so late ie 4am.

Si lo que quieres es solo pasar la noche, darte una ducha y ahorrar dinero, entonces este es tu lugar. La atención de la gente es muy buena y amigable, que para NY es mucho que decir.

Good value for money for staying in manhatthan. Hostel is very busy but not so noisy. But the comon room is too small so some travellers need to sit around the lobby door in order to surf web.

This hostel was reasonable for a few nights' stay, but wouldn't recommend it for any longer than that. Pros: The staff were excellent; so friendly and helpful. The decor was nice in the common room - plenty of couches and tables. Cons: The facilities were clean but extremely basic - i.e no hand soap for the bathroom or floor mat for the shower. Security was very basic - no in-room lockers, just a service to leave valuables at the front desk. No wifi in rooms, only in C.R. OK, not great.

This place was amazing. The room was clean and the bunks were surprisingly comfortable. Everyone on staff was super nice and helpful, especially Julio. He found our lost cell phone minutes after it was lost in the busy lobby and made sure it got back to us safely! It was a bit loud in the morning, but overall a lovely stay. I would definetely stay here again!

Buen lugar para permanecer de forma barata en la gran manzana. Buen barrio, limpio y seguro. A sólo dos calles del metro y con la línea roja que te deja directamente en la calle 42 y cerca de Times Square. Lo malo es que para usar los ordenadores del hotel n hostel es caro, 1 dólar para 15 minutos, pero estando en el país más capitalista debe ser normal. Mejor llevarse un portátil o una tableta, pues hay free wi-fi. Por lo demás todo bien.
