Fine place and staff, but needs to be a better integration with the booking platforms. Booked with Expedia, guy at front desk says there's no rooms left, finds one last minute.
Upon checking out the other guy tells me the stay was not logged into the system, had to show booking on platform to prove I was even at the place.
Fine stay beyond the aforementioned.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Common area is small. Refrigerator was full from guests storing big cases of beer during FIFAs final weekend but managed to store a small gift bag that had a couple of can drinks and some snacks. Room was facing the street so could hear the loud mouth people and sirens from first responders. There was no hand soap, shampoo or liquid body soap provided but luckily I brought my own. Unfortunately the elevator was not operating but a staff member assisted me with my carry on bag as I was recovering from a sprained ankle.

The room was a mess! The single restroom for 12 two person rooms disgusting, other guests used it to smoke and the smell was throughout the place. The bathroom was out of toilet paper both days I stayed. Never again!! Expedia should be ashamed having a site like this on the places they endorse for overnight stays. Just a terrible experience, one outlet with one plug for charging devices. Bad place,

What can you say other than you get what you pay for.

Not so clean, not too dirty.

Mattress wasn't very firm, but it wasn't soft either, or maybe those were the bed springs poking through.

Not quiet, but not so noisy.

But where else are you going to stay, near the subway, right where I needed to be, for only $50 a night?

I guess the money I saved gave it enough value that I would 100% stay there again.

3/5 stars on amenities/quality, 5/5 stars for value.

Do NOT chose this property. Horrible. I would’ve slept on the streets before I stayed in one of the rooms of this crack den. I checked in, went to my room, walked to the bathroom (there were two and neither was flushed, so that was charming); then I collected my things and left to find a property where my throat wouldn’t be slashed in my sleep. Oh, and on the elevator ride downstairs, I had the pleasure of being joined by one of the hostel residents who was either talking to himself or about me, but either way, there was a gay devil on the elevator with us that needed to be dealt with (hear him tell it). If you are considering this property, don’t. The money saved isn’t worth your safety or sanity.

The thinnest mattress I’ve ever slept on ;-/

The front desk person on the day I arrived wasn’t very friendly. The reception area had a weird smell, and there were a pair of dirty sneakers sitting by the window. I asked for a towel, and they gave me one from a white box — it was dirty. I asked, “Is this clean?” and they said, “Yeah, it’s clean.” Pretty unpleasant, honestly.
I didn’t spend much time there. The location is good, and the neighborhood feels safe. I guess for NYC, the price and quality kind of match.
The guy at the front desk on Sunday during check-out was the only one who was nice and helpful — he’s the one who slightly turned my experience around.
Would I recommend it? If you’re not too picky and you’re on a budget, it’s fine.

The room was unsafe to stay in. There was an air conditioner unit propping the window open with some loose particle board partially covering the remaining open window.

Central Park West Hostel-New York, misrepresents itself as being a clean, inviting, and comfortable hostel. In fact, there is infestation of roachs in the common/kitchen/lounging area=a small all purpose area. There were roaches in the bathroom area as well. The staff were pleasant and helpful, but the accomodations were a lot to be desired. I will not recommend this hostel.

The rooms are incredibly basic, run-down, dirty. The bed is an iron structure which creaks with the slightest movement. Main lights in the room did not work nor did most of the sockets. I was not provided with a towel, despite asking, and had just one sheet as a bed cover - I slept fully clothed. Toilets are disgusting, broken and half work. Showers needed a good scrub.
First night I was supposed to have a \"private\" bathroom but this was not available so I used a communal bathroom. I was moved for the second night, and there was a bathroom, which was very bad.
The location is good, right off Broadway and a block to Central Park.
Staff were polite but didn't follow up on the few requests I made.
Bottom line - don't stay here, this will probably be the worst place you've ever spent a night.

I booked this room because as it was advertised on Expedia, it appeared clean and nice for the price; what i got proved it false advertisement. What pictures you see are specifically curated. Very likely the first floor. Which is the only floor to have wifi by the way, in the lounge.

The free wifi advertisment is a lie.

I also was not informed that I, a woman, would be sharing a room- much less with a random man that walked in while I was half naked and sleeping. The front desk treated me as if I was unreasonable for being deeply disturbed and traumatised by this, and I immediately left that night.

The most disgusting hostel ever. There were no attempts to clean or maintain this building.

Chairs in the room were falling apart and looked like they were picked up while dumpster diving. The window in my room didn’t close all the way. The shower drain didn’t work. The key system didn’t work so they had to let me in the building and room. The bathroom smelled like mildew. No internet.

It's cheap so you get what you pay for. I don't mind lower quality accommodations so it didn't bother me, and I was prepared for the bad conditions. No air conditioning, you'll have to keep the window propped open with something and the street is loud that far downtown. Some small roaches in shared kitchen area so I didn't use it. No hand soap in bathroom, but I had hand sanitizer. Shower looked sketchy so I bathed in the sink.

The hardest part was no phone at the front desk. I couldn't call from the airport to ask about the shuttle. It was advertised but not actually a thing anymore. They got rid of it a few years ago (\"covid,\" but I doubt it.)

The desk staff was just two random dudes on their phones hanging out, one counting a large amount of cash which felt a little weird. They were nice enough though. The maid was very nice despite the terrible state of the place, though I don't think it was his fault. He was doing his best.

On the plus side, you're right next to a subway stop. So getting there from the airport wasn't too bad. It took about an hour.My train to the airport was canceled though, and when I finally got to the M60 bus stop it drove past me and opened its doors for two seconds way down the street then left. I had to pay $40 or $50 for an uber to get to the airport on time. So if you're not a local be prepared that the pubic transport isn't very reliable.

- What did I like? Only the zone.

- What did I not like?

1. The check-in: they made me wait almost 24 hours to give me a room since they were over-booked, they said the 1st day would be refunded but it was not, they never even mentioned the subject anymore.

2. The property seems okay from the outside but it is in terrible condition on the inside, from the furniture to the elevator and the staircases.... EVERYTHING is old and in terrible condition.

3. The staff is somehow friendly but it seems like they do not care too much about the wellbeing of their guests.

4. The property condition and facilities are really bad. I don't know how can the authorities can let them operate and run a place like this. Is it true that they offer stays below the average for NY but they should invest in the property, the bathrooms, the elevator, the windows, the A/C, everything needs replacement.

I would never recommend anyone to go to this place and I would never go back there. I rather spend more than stay at a HORRIBLE place like this one.

location and affordable price that is all you get.

old building with narrow elevator and stairs that require repair because they crack right under your feet. they were out of towels and warm blankets when i arrived, dirty bathrooms, 2 bathrooms for approximately 12 rooms (2-10 persons each?). there is no signboard with the hostel name, or it is tiny and invisible. very easy to miss the correct entry. my room had a window looking toward ventilation pit and fire stairs. it was dark inside the room all day long. night dark. the mattress was 5 inches thick, so it was extremely uncomfortable to sleep on the ikea metal frame base. the room had no shelves or cabinets to keep belongings and generally looked like a prison cell. dog hair was everywhere in common areas.

Only one restroom was open at 3rd floor for 11 rooms and always was busy. Only 1 of 3 power outlet was working in the room. Everything is very old and need renovation.
Location is really good, close to the subway and on walking distance from Central Park
