My only complaint is the floors were dirty and there was no way to adjust the radiator. The rooms got extremely hot. Can't beat the location next to the L and the amenities.

I would recommend this place to anyone, and not just those looking for cheap sleeps. I met fantastic people, got a really good sence of Brooklyn, found the staff truly helpful and willing to do what it takes to hrelp out, and was kind of blown away by the good vibes all around. i\'ll be back.I would recommend this place to anyone, and not just those looking for cheap sleeps.

Easily one of the finest hostels I've ever stayed in. The extremely close proximity to the L train makes it incredibly easy to get to the heart of Manhattan in no time. Williamsburg is even closer and the bars are open late and then trains run all night and I can't imagine staying anywhere else now.Easily one of the finest hostels I've ever stayed in.

Clean. Close to Metro. AWESOME organic/natrual foods deli/grocery store in between hostel and Metro. Open 24/7 (not sure about holidays). Kitchen big, breakfast is sugar cereal and white bread. Outdoor patio area nice. ATM in hostel. Hand dryer in bathroom would be nice, shower towels small, thin. Room light poor. Bedside locker nice - bring your own lock. Wifi spotty at times. Was great place for what we needed (bed, shower, kitchen), will definitely return next NYC trip.Clean. Close to Metro. AWESOME organic/natrual foods deli/grocery store in between hostel and Metro.

This is a great place. they always cater to customer .unillike hostels that try to cut corners to make money and make u suffer.spoiled by now. only draw back is early closing of tv room kitchen. not know why. lots of big rooms. no breathing others germs in small harlem hostels and c2o. always making improvements and workers are skilled. if u ask they will fix whats wrong. sometimes cleaners skip.. over all one of nyc best hostels managed. unlike L hostel where no personality .

Everything was great but the breakfast could have been a little better. all of the food was high in sugar. there really wasn't anything healthy except for the fruit.

the hostel was easy to find. it's quite close to manhattan by transit, and it was nice to have a reason to leave and explore williamsburg and bushwick, which were arty and full of restaurants, bars, and clubs which were great. good kitchen. right beside a coffee shop, down the street from a grocery that was open late. would stay here again. private room had two single beds. wouldn't be a good hostel if you were on your own.the hostel was easy to find. it's quite close to manhattan by transit, and it was nice to have a reason to leave and explore williamsburg and bushwick, which were arty and full of restaurants, bars, and clubs which were great. good kitchen. right beside a coffee shop, down the street from a grocery that was open late. would stay here again. private room had two single beds. wouldn't be a good hostel if you were on your own....Close

The staff were nice but not that helpful in describing the layout of the hostel. It's not that difficult to find my way around but a brief description of where stuff is at would be useful. Otherwise, great place, I will definitely recommend to others.The staff were nice but not that helpful in describing the layout of the hostel.
