I really liked the location of this place because it’s away from super crowded areas. The subway was a 5 minute walk from the hostel which was really nice. I was able to visit all the touristy areas using the transportation nearby. The hostel itself was clean, warm rooms, good water pressure in showers. The only problem I had was trying to get a room with my two other friends, we asked a couple times if we could room together but they couldn’t. Other than that it was great, more than likely I’ll stay here again next time I visit.

The staff were really nice and helpful overall, the rooms were cleaner than I thought they would be (makes sense since they have cleaning done to each room weekly or more frequently than that). Would definitely check it out again when doing a short trip to New York

I traveled to NYC for the Marathon. Access to the sub way is just down the street (~300m) E-Tran -airport 7- race kit pickup and race day bus pick up Staff were amazing and really friendly. They have a cafe and bar on site. There’s a craft brewery across the street (Focal Point Beer Co). I will stay here again.

Amanda

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved the laid-back, comfortable, modern atmosphere. So many places to sit and work/relax. Excellent place, would stay again. Biggest difficulty was the showers - head is far too high (at least in the female dormitory) and not adjustable. The water leaks out onto the floor because the liners are too light/short.

Cool hostel with some neat facilities, great for budget-conscious travelers. Decently sized kitchen with two fridges, *lots* of appliances, and very large common room/lounge area nearby. Very easy to get to Manhattan on the subway. The rooftop is the spectacular cherry on top. Curtains closing up the bunks would make for a cozier sleeping experience, and it won't wake roommates up when you turn on the lights or use your phone flashlight. Bunks were a bit rickety, and one morning (only once) the hot water in my shower was out.
