The room was excellent and the staff was unbelievable. I cannot say enough good things about the staff. I had travelled for about 35 hours straight between car, bus and train to see a dr in NYC. Turns out, by time I got here the stress of journey and cold of train left me almost unable to walk. Head desk guy was so patient helped me to my room, on second floor I fell from a medical condition I suffer from that got worse from being tired on my journey. Head desk gentleman and lady at second floor helped me up. They went above and beyond what I’ve seen at some of the best hotels. All in all the room was clean and comfortable and staff was excellent.

The staff and area were nice. What I would definitely have to mention is comments other people have mentioned. The beds are way small for tall people. They are twin kids bed and if you’re 5’6”+ it’s a little awkward. Also the showers I found them quite small. I felt like I couldn’t move or else my hair would get wet or I would touch the cold tile. Both are things they could work on. Other than that is a great location and well located.

I know the hostel is ‘budget’ but it was terrible. 1 toilet, 2 showers and 2 sinks between 50 bunks on the floor i was on. Hot water was intermittent. Staff didnt seem to be bothered, the loud noise policy was not adhered too. The floors and general public areas were dirty, the electrical socket was not what id call secure or indeed safe

Definitely a hostel. Pleasant staff, good central meeting rooms, bathrooms ok- I realize it's one of the cheapest places in NYC but but I have trouble imagining the sleeping rooms are allowed.

For the price and travelling alone it was pretty decent. Just a couple of small things. - Showers are tiny, would be nice to have a couple of hooks higher up in the showers to put your belongings while you shower.
