I really enjoyed my stay and the staff was very helpful and friendly. However, sometimes the restrooms were not in optimum condition and the room was tiny (I was in a private room that I shared with my daughter)) and the beds a quite uncomfortable, especially the pillows. I also think that the rooms should have at least a small closet or wardrobre, I know other hostels do. This would make the rooms more comfortable.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was chilly when boiler was down but front desk provided lots of extra blankets and was only an issue for the one night.

No common room of any kind and no kitchen, definitely not a place to meet people. Very clean though and seemed secure and safe. Staff businesslike but helpful. If you just want a bed and clean bathroom its reasonable value. The twin private was very small.

We booked a 3 bed private room and once we got there we found out it was only two beds. One bigger bed (not quite a full but bigger than a twin) and the other bed was a bunk bed. The staff mentioned it when I was checking in but at that point it was too late for me to make different accommadations. The bed itself was too springy and if the person on the top bunk moved you could hear it squeaking all night. The bathroom was also smelly and you should def bring some flip flops.

Thank you for your review. Our 3 Bed Private Room accommodates 3 people with a Twin Bed above a Full Size Bed as clearly described on Hostelworld and Hostels.com. Additionally, please revert to our website as we have pictures of all of our room types. We have full time maintenance staff dedicated just to the cleanliness of our shared bathrooms.

The only problem we found the hostel is that there is no elevator and the stairs are uncomfortable.


67%

No lift available, even he front desk is in the second floor. all the rooms are in the 3rd floor and upward. it is too hard to carry the baggage on the stairs. Everything is payable for the cabinet, room key, towel...

It was ok, as expected. only one problem with water heating, which became an issue as it was winter. bathroom cleanliness wasn't good enough. Mattresses could be better also. Location is good. several good restaurants nearby. staff was polite and helpful.

The bed was a little springy and the room was a little cold late in the early hours of the morning. Location was pretty good and convenient for my needs.

It was a treat to stay in such a central location in Manhattan at such a good rate. I stayed briefly while in transit to Toronto, but I'll be back for a few days to see more of NYC.

Cute little place near the Empire. The shops are close and the staff is really nice. The subway is three block away. I would stay there again.

The bathrooms weren't clean, and it's a really bad idea to have showers and toilets in the same room. Checking-in took forever.

Overall it's a great hostal. The bathroom could use a more frequent cleaning (had a funky smell most of the time) but I can definitely say I'll stay here again. There should be a bigger common area so that we can mingle with the other guests in a more relaxed area and maybe there should be someone that coordinates bar crawls or something. The staff was super nice, the NY taxes weren't but I loved loved the location. Great value for the price, couldn't have been happier about the overall stay.
