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.

One of the best hostels in the country! Traveling on a very tight budget in NYC and needed place to lay my head at night. This hostel is FANTASTIC. It’s cleaner with more amenities than some of the cheaper hotels. Plus it’s close to the heart of NYC and lots of transportation accessibility. If you don’t mind sharing a room with people, this is a great place to stay. Great little coffee shop and restaurant in lobby too. I’d rather stay here and be close to everything than spend more than double on a dingy motel outside the city.

Air conditioning was barely cold at times. It helped that the weather was chilly at night to help sleep better. One night at 11 pm a maintance guy came in the room and started hammering something on a bed really loudly. Other than that I liked the cleanliness, the events they have for the guests, the location and the subway near by.

I was pleasantly surprised. I had no real expectations due to the budget price, but it exceeded them. When settling in they were organizing a mixer and bar crawl. Totally unexpected so I joined. The other travelers were also very nice. I would stay again.
