2/10 Poor

It was like a scary jail. My floor smelled like butt. The service was okay, the cleaning lady was kind and check in was smooth, check out and luggage storage was rude and weird.

Basic dorm accommodations.

Good location and cool ac in private room. It is basically an old dorm room. I did like having access to the gym facilities. Only 1 towel was provided. No daily cleaning offered.

A spot for brave souls on the budget

A spot for brave souls on the budget. The bed was ok, the floor is dirty. 3 showers for the whole floor… the smell in the room was weird, the room size ok. You would want to come there as late as possible and leave as early as you can to enjoy the city or what you are for in NY. There might be better budget options out there…

Central and good basics

Amazing location, kind staff, and good basic accomodations. I had single room with the necessary amenities incl. a small fridge which was nice. The bed was on wheels and would move around during the night which was annoying. Easy access to Central Park and Columbus Circle was great and overall it was a good experience.

8/10 Very good

Excellent location. Clean. Friendly staff. Pool looks inviting. Some loud ppl at night. Midwest prices in a clean comfortable facility in the middle of Manhattan- awesome.

Great hostel option in NYC. Quiet, clean, and a great location. Bathrooms have a code and a showers have a stall so you do have reasonable privacy/security.

4/10 Fair

We had our own room, I have to say it is well maintained considering the facility’s age. The staff was kind, and the location was great. Unfortunately, my aunt on the bottom bunk bed couldn’t sleep due to bed bug bites. I’m not sure if I could request a refund for this inconvenience.

It’s was a nice place & very clean, but it needs a big renovation.
Alec, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location is excellent and the staff is also amazing and super helpful. The only downside is the shared bathrooms, they urgently need renovation. The doora of the loo do not close. The bathrooms are terrifying.
