I enjoyed my stay in the company of tourists from all over the world. It was a bit not easy to take heavy luggage to 5th floor through narrow wooden stairsI enjoyed my stay in the company of tourists from all over the world.

This is a good hostel. The sataff is great. The only thing is that its a little bit far away from the city. Harlem is not the best zone, of course, but its not bad at all. The subway is 3 blocks away from the hostel and in 20 minutes you are un Time Sqare. The bathrooms are clean but there are not so many. The only big big problem that I found it was the madress it was reaaaally bad but after walking NYC all day long you wont notice it! Have fun and enjoy NYC, dont miss MoMA!!!!!!This is a good hostel.

the neighborhood looked quite dangerous to me at night, but nobody robbed us or anything so I quess its not so bad after all :) they have a huge LCD TV and keys to the rooms are electronic, which is quite fancy for the hostel. its 15 minutes to downtown manhattan by subway, which is 3 blocks from hostel. As everyone is writing, free wifi wasnt working for us neither :P but cant agree with comments about staff, it was helpful and effective as far as I can say. showers could be more clean. overall...Morethe neighborhood looked quite dangerous to me at night, but nobody robbed us or anything so I quess its not so bad after all :) they have a huge LCD TV and keys to the rooms are electronic, which is quite fancy for the hostel. its 15 minutes to downtown manhattan by subway, which is 3 blocks from hostel.

Staff are brilliant and very helpful. Interestinglocation and an easy ride in to downtown. Dorms are a decent size and a good kitchen. Staff are brilliant and very helpful. Interestinglocation and an easy ride in to downtown. Dorms are a decent size and a good kitchen. ...Close

Terrible AC - I was sweating in my bed and the window wouldn't open. My room didn't lock at all. Wireless internet didn't work. At least the staff was friendly.

1st of all, i did not get my 8bed room, but a 12 one instead. Well, not a big deal as long i have a bed to rest my body. The building is rather old. But cleanliness wise, its clean. I believe the housekeeping was done everyday, so by the time you get back, most likely someone who just checked in was on your bed, thinking it was empty. Shower and toilet was clean during my stay. 12 bed room size was just ok, but lack power points. Its kind of difficult when someone who charge their cellphon...More1st of all, i did not get my 8bed room, but a 12 one instead. Well, not a big deal as long i have a bed to rest my body.

Its kind of difficult when someone who charge their cellphone for the whole night, living no chance for others. WiFi went dead for 2 days. But while it worked, it has fast speed. Staffs was friendly. And you get cereal in the morning FCFS. I dont know much else since I was out the whole day, and came back by 9pm daily. Oh, my milk in the freezer got stolen. DARN! My stay was OK except the encounter with 2 rude Russian girls who didnt respect everyone else and making noise in the middle of the night. ...Close

location was absolutely fine. trains run the whole night and it was a nice area as well (for those who concern about the safety). the "breakfirst" means cerials, which is fine, if you get up early... and they have the cheapest rates in nyc i think. i would definately stay again!!location was absolutely fine. trains run the whole night and it was a nice area as well (for those who concern about the safety). the "breakfirst" means cerials, which is fine, if you get up early... and they have the cheapest rates in nyc i think. i would definately stay again!!...Close

Noisy but friendly hostel, staff are a little disinterested but very efficient. Hostel is very clean and secure and it is in a great location. Do not listen to your pre-conceptions, Harlem is great.Noisy but friendly hostel, staff are a little disinterested but very efficient. Hostel is very clean and secure and it is in a great location.
