Everything clean and well organized, they encourage the socializing of the guests and offer a lot of activities to do with them for free, besides a cafeteria with various options, vending machines, laundry and shared kitchen. Got the shared room and everyone was polite. The only con is the only one elevator for all the building, can took a while.

Great location. The staff was very friendly, and the food service was great. The kitchen was spotless and had so much space for everyone. However, the washrooms were often low on paper towels.

Safe, convenient and affordable!
This hostel offers everything you need to enjoy your stay without breaking the bank or compromising peace of mind. I was most impressed by how clean and well kept the property is. Fresh linens and warm showers. There was a guard out front at night and as a solo female traveler this place did not disappoint. 10/10 would recommend and stay again.

Cool experience
Didn’t know what to expect staying at a hostel but it was such a cool experience. I wish I’d stayed longer. There were curated experiences for the guests. I only got to check out the comedy night. Definitely cheesy (and crude) but still enjoyable! And such a fusion of cultures. You’ll meet people from all over the world!

Before booked I read some comments that said is dirty and the staff is rude or whatever. Nothing like that. The place is nice: clean, the staff is good as well. They have a cafeteria with variety of drinks including orange juice, coffee and a selection for breakfast (fruit, eggs, croissants, baggies etc). The WiFi is very good. The rooms are good as well. The only thing I didn’t like is the elevator it take so long to get from one floor to the other and the locker at the room are not big enough for big luggage (if you have one) but out of that for the price and location is good.

It's a good budget friendly hostel considering how expensive NYC is. Nice facilities and everyone is cordial with each other. About 5-10 mins walk to subway station, and there's a whole foods and trader joes within a few blocks away.
