Clean room, convenient location close to the Subway station, Central Park is nearby, they have a Deli and cold drinks for purchase, elevator, outdoor patio, bar, clean rooms with good ac and very nice common area. Staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. Felt very safe as a solo traveler. Went the weekend of FIFA and many fans were staying here at the hostel. I give this hostel five stars. It was inexpensive and will definitely stay again. I can’t believe I was able to get a room at the last minute. Check in and out was fairly quick and easy.

Great clean spot. It's a bit annoying that you have to share a room but compared to paying hundreds more in Manhattan I think it's way worth it.
A little hard to find towels, but everything you need is provided.
Laundry machines available for a fee.
I was pleasantly surprised to see everything was very clean and well maintained.
Thanks for the stay and God bless!

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The common areas are nice with lots of lounge space, there's even an outdoor patio area. The room is clean and about how you'd expect. It was a nice touch to have a curtain by your bed for some privacy. The only place that wasn't clean was some toilets but that's probably due to some guests being inconsiderate of others. I would recommend for a hostel.

Clean place, helpful staff, good option for long or short stays. The beds are comfortable, and the showers too (the toilet are a bit on the small side, but nothing major). Rooms have a locker, AC and heater. It has a cafeteria in the lobby and a new bar for guests. Study room, kitchen, laundry and other spaces are available for guests. Check in or check out processes are very smooth, and luggage storage is available.

This was my second stay here and sadly not as great. The first night the rooms heater was on during a heat wave and it was horribly uncomfortable. I checked with the front desk and they helped me get it adjusted. There was also a maintenance guy doing work with a drill late at night in the room which was odd. The people I shared my room with were incredibly noisy and would talk on speaker phone late into the night and super early in the morning. The room smelled, that being more on the occupants than the cleaners. The bathroom was pretty gross on a regular basis and the showers had almost no water pressure. The men’s room across from my room was closed so maybe it was from so many people using the one facility. The staff were great and the shared spaces elsewhere in the building were nice. I would stay here again, just maybe in a smaller capacity room.

Staff are great, a/c was working this visit. (yay!) There were several young women who turned the overhead light on and conversed loudly after midnight. That’s the only thing that made this visit four stars instead of five.

I have been enjoying this Hostel for a long time now and watched as they have made a few tweeks.
It's more than a comfortable bed and great shower, with often nice company. There are great tours to take and now there is also a bar for those who like a drink.
The bus stops virtually outside from Penn or Central station and if you go over a block you can get a bus to Times Square or in the opposite direction to Harlem.
Enjoy your stay whether you are a solo traveller or a family.

The most important thing that stood out was the early check-in. My flight arrived at 2 AM in New Jersey. I took a train into Manhattan. Walked around for a bit, but around 9 AM. I decided to give up and try for an early check-in. I was greeted nicely and welcomed, and was allowed to check in and get some sleep.

Overall, good stay. The common areas are nice but the rooms are a bit worn down. The room temperature consistently fluctuates - I didn’t expect to be sweating in NYC in Jan. The beds are also pretty flimsy. If the person on the top bunk moved at all, my bottom bunk would rock back and forth keeping me awake (I am a light sleeper). Bathrooms were pretty decent as well. Location was great! Right by the subway

I really appreciate this place. Super clean and easy if you are on a budget. Only reason for 4 stars is because one of the bunk mates in my room kept her light on all night, keeping everyone tossing and turning. I recommend earplugs and sleep mask if you plan to stay here. It’s fantastic but you never know who you end up with in your room.

All the pros of a hostel - safe, superb vibe, people from all over the world, lots of activities and spaces to hang out. Great conversations. Big bathroom stalls. Great location to take a break from all the tourist areas.

Cons:
The room was very cold. You need a plank under the mattress so that the bed doesn't slop so much. Lockers need a rod with a hanger or two because you are living out of a suitcase on the floor is quite literal here. Our room floor was not clean.

I stayed for just one day and really enjoyed myself. The room, bathroom, and common areas were very clean, and the staff was courteous throughout my visit.

The hostel’s location is excellent—just one block from Broadway, about a 10-minute walk to Central Park, and close to the subway. There are plenty of cafés and restaurants within walking distance, which made exploring the neighborhood easy and fun.

I also joined one of their weekly events, which was a great way to meet new friends and make memories, even though the venue was a bit farther away. There was some construction inside the hostel, but it didn’t interfere with my stay at all.

I didn’t use the kitchen, but overall, I highly recommend this hostel for anyone looking for a clean, friendly, and well-situated place to stay in uptown New York.

I paid for a 6 person dorm and was put in a 10 person one, which seemed unfair given 6 person was more expensive through Expedia. Location was good and the top bunks have a blackout curtain and a rail alongside them which makes them feel secure and private.
