Good for a quick one night trip.
Bring shoes for the shared showers and ear plugs. It kind of feels like a college dorm. Lots of young people. Good for a one night trip, but definitely not for those who want more privacy.

I have NEVER been in a hostel before. I saw the movie Hostel and ever since then I had a stigma around them. I went to this place and honestly really amazing. People from all over, it was always busy at the times I was awake (not sure about anything past midnight and before 6) and there were always people so I felt super safe. I felt comfortable in the bed they were super clean. I don’t even like staying in places where high turnover for beds just because of dirtiness usually and bugs but this one was nicely setup clean staff was freaking fantastic.

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!

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.
