This was my first hostel and such an amazing experience ! I absolutely loved the cabins and they were clean and comfortable. It reminded me of camp. The only possible suggestion I’d have would be it would be nice to have a little shelf inside the cabin to put my glasses on (I am completely blind without them and need to have them even in the middle of the night).

Especially as far as hostels and even inexpensive lodging this is definitely a fantastic option. Very reasonable prices, options for sharing a room with only one other person, controllable temperature in your own pod (it doesn't have like extreme settings but does helps and while like any AC unit etc it doesn't also have a noise to it but honestly it's almost like a 'white noise' for sleeping, it's not bothersome at all, and can be a bit soothing. The staff is very sweet and efficient, there's only one person checking people in but I find them to be conscientious of lines and timeliness. There a Small cafe in the lobby with nicely priced options for coffees, fresh pressed juices, breakfast (avo toast etc) fresh fruit and more. Definitely recommend if you don't need a spacious room and are just looking for a safe clean comfortable and affordable place to stay in Manhattan - and right off of the park too!

Fine but pretty loud.

It was fine. The down side was doors slamming all night. I’m not a light sleeper, but being in the room next to the staircase on the first floor and across from the bathroom made it hard to sleep. Both of those doors don’t close quietly, so every time they would close they would slam really loudly. The doors on the beds close kind of loud too so if you’re in a room with someone that comes back really late like I was, that will probably wake you up too. The beds were clean and comfortable though. I’m just over 5’6 and I could sit up comfortably in the bed and had plenty of room to lay down and move around a bit.

I loved the distance from the subway and the distance from Central Park! The staff was nice and they had a rooftop area and dining area to hang out in. They do have a "private shower" option that costs extra that isn't actually private but is a shower used by yourself and the others in the room as opposed to the one in the hallway used by the other guests.

Disliked: Room comfort
Overall, the location was great, the front desk was helpful and friendly, the cafe was a great space to hang out or have a morning coffee, and the bathrooms and rooms were clean. Comfort: The mattresses were thin, the pillow old and flat, 1 thin blanket, 1 rough towel. My podmates were considerate and as quiet as possible. I liked being able to close the door to my "pod" and loved the light control, but it was not actually quiet. A pod is essentially a metal bunk bed with a box around it, so you can hear squeaks with every toss and turn. Also I was never sure if my roommate was there in their pod with the doors closed and sleeping, so I didn't feel comfortable unzipping my suitcase, rummaging for what I needed and getting changed, just in case I was disturbing them. I wished I knew if they were there or not. I don't think pods are for me. I will pay for a room next time.
