The best hostel i've been to! The staff is extremely friendly, you will feel very welcomed. The kitchen and the common area are great and special so you can peacefully cook your own meals and eat there! They clean the rooms every day , the beds are also very comfortable. I travelled solo to nyc and this hostel was really my safe place, i would recommend it for everyone who travels to nyc and is searching for a central and quiet location
