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.
