SOLO TRAVEL ON A BUDGET.
PRO: Great for solo travelers. It was the cheapest I found during New Years week. The front desk & virtual staff were very friendly. It was safe. Great location. Very homie feel. CON: the room was a literal box. The beds are too small. If you have big luggage you can’t move it around. The bathroom was dirty at times.

This was my first time staying at a hostel. I liked the option for an affordable rate, and really liked how the common areas were decorated as well as the entertainment provided in the lobby. The only issue I had was that the bathrooms could have provided more soap, shampoo, and washcloths for their guests. I assumed that would be available, however it was only one bottle of soap/shampoo in the showers (that was empty) and a single bath towel.

Interesting, to say the least
Service was amazing and the cleaners were always on top of everything. If you had an issue the front desk person was always willing to help out and customer service was on call. Beautifully decorated shared spaces. Only thing is that the beds and pillows were super uncomfortable and you can hear EVERYONE in the hallway at all times. I had to change rooms because someone was snoring so loud. Excellent location. Overall a bit overpriced for what you're getting but that's New York.

Tiny. Noise. No staffs. Use third party website to store your ID and credit cards. Data security is deeply concerned.

Great place except for the other guests
This is a really cool property in an amazing location. The staff is friendly and the common areas are awesome. It is one of the coolest and best decorated hostels I've ever been to. Unfortunately, the walls do not go all the way up to the ceiling and noise travels quite a bit. The other guests are consistently rude and will keep you up all night. People will talk and even have sex (single occupancy rooms) during quiet hours, and the door near the kitchen area slams anytime someone goes through it, which is about ten times an hours.

I liked it is centric and close to subway and bus. I didn't like the check in is "online"; the host should be in the reception to provide assistance.

it's a 9 month new into the open, they renovated from a bar/restaurant I believe, awesome setup and common area for reading, working your laptop, or just the lounge every floor. They have female only floor too. They have Wednesday and Friday event going on the reception floor too, like live music or comedian, tenants get free access. The only thing I hoped more the air circulation on the sleeping area and also the opposite street seems with lines of people for public beneficiaries though, but non concern any way just a bit appearance.

The pods are not properly closed on top, you can hear everyone coughing and hacking. I got a nasty strain of Covid here and am still unwell 12 days later and miserable. Do not stay here in fall/winter - or if you are immunocompromised - ever. It’s a lovely hostel with great location and amenities annd common spaces otherwise but with that warning. The staff are kinda absentee everything’s on some video call box and it takes ages to find a human. I felt like asking them a question was an inconvenience and waited a long time in the lobby. Not the end of the world but feels like they need customer service refresher. I wasn’t asking for anything high maintenance either - just help checking in/out and bag storage. They should offer face masks (not just eye ones, mouth kind) and insist anyone with cold symptoms wear it inside the building at least.
