No amenities except Wi-Fi, but only on ground floor. Low rates but only a few dollars less than another hostel 15 blocks uptown which offers a lot of amenities. Rooms are only 2 person rooms.

Dirty—No bother to sweep, scrub, etc.

The most disgusting hostel ever. There were no attempts to clean or maintain this building. Nothing had been swept or cleaned prior to my arrival except my sheets and pillowcase over a pancake thin pillow. Chairs in the room were falling apart and looked like they were picked up while dumpster diving. The window in my room didn’t close all the way. The shower drain didn’t work. The key system didn’t work so they had to let me in the building and room. The bathroom smelled like mildew. No internet.

It's cheap which is excellent for a college student who visits NY for a one night stand or for anybody, who wants to save money. However the conditions for cheap payment comes with poor quality.

It's a good place, for the price it's great you share a room with only one person and people that work here are chilled and leave you alone, you don't have to pay a fee for the deposit. Nice thing is that you have the bath and shower room to your self and it is not like other places where there are 3 showers in one room. It's not a luxury 7star place but it's been my favorite budget place in NYC so far

Extremely dirty place with horrendous staffing and management. Line up always at the door and people don’t have keys to go to their room. False advertisement. Need to sue this place asps for fraudulent advertising.

The staff were nice and we were right next to the subway stop. However, it took 40 minutes to check in since when we arrived no one was at the front desk (another person had also been waiting even longer than us). The sheets were also dirty and we saw a bed bug. Definitely bring your own blanket if you get cold. They also didn't have soap in the bathroom to wash your hands and the showers were dirty.

Offered to stay in the lobby

they over booked so we were told to sleep in the lobby or go somewhere else at 1am. The lobby already had 3 people sleeping in it and it was a tiny closet like room. No refunds for their mistakes either
