My first time in a hostel and I loved it! The rooms were clean, there were a lot of common areas to hang out, and the sense of community was really heartwarming, particularly the emphasis on welcoming international travellers! Convenient locations super close to the subway and Central Park. My one complaint would be the one functioning elevator is very slow, but I just took the stairs. Overall would definitely stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First time staying in a hostel and loved it. Was close to the subway and many grocery stores/parks and restaurants. Felt safe because all the cameras around and you need a key card to get inside and then again to get close to the rooms. Front desk was ok but also heard them talking about guests so 3 stars for that. There’s also a lot of travelers from around the world with different mannerisms so I was woken up a few times by people being loud and slamming doors at 7am but besides that I loved it I’d definitely book again.

Fraser

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Almost all hostels I have used internationally provide a breakfast as part of the daily cost, and I was genuinely surprised that this facility didn't - and the prices for food that is available are too high. As a consequence I had to patronise other local businesses who DO provide a range of food at reasonable cost.
