We would stay here again for sure, but they need to clean under the beds.

While the stair case is alittle rickitey. The place is fair clean for an oldish place. Location is great - close to everything, and our room was nice enough. Kitchen and breakfast is enough for a hostel to offer. We had a great time in NY!! Could be back one day!

Cute little place, very comfortable, good location and the rooms are decent. The staff seems a little disorganized and there isn't much hot water to take a shower...but the free breakfast is a bonus!
