Clean room, convenient location close to the Subway station, Central Park is nearby, they have a Deli and cold drinks for purchase, elevator, outdoor patio, bar, clean rooms with good ac and very nice common area. Staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. Felt very safe as a solo traveler. Went the weekend of FIFA and many fans were staying here at the hostel. I give this hostel five stars. It was inexpensive and will definitely stay again. I can’t believe I was able to get a room at the last minute. Check in and out was fairly quick and easy.

Great clean spot. It's a bit annoying that you have to share a room but compared to paying hundreds more in Manhattan I think it's way worth it. A little hard to find towels, but everything you need is provided. Laundry machines available for a fee. I was pleasantly surprised to see everything was very clean and well maintained. Thanks for the stay and God bless!

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The common areas are nice with lots of lounge space, there's even an outdoor patio area. The room is clean and about how you'd expect. It was a nice touch to have a curtain by your bed for some privacy. The only place that wasn't clean was some toilets but that's probably due to some guests being inconsiderate of others. I would recommend for a hostel.
