Bring shoes for the shared showers and ear plugs. It kind of feels like a college dorm. Lots of young people. Good for a one night trip, but definitely not for those who want more privacy.

This hostel offers everything you need to enjoy your stay without breaking the bank or compromising peace of mind. I was most impressed by how clean and well kept the property is. Fresh linens and warm showers. There was a guard out front at night and as a solo female traveler this place did not disappoint. 10/10 would recommend and stay again.

Good place to stay for some period of time. Stayed in 14-bed room, but didn't have any inconveniences. The beds have curtains, so it's comfortable to sleep. Make sure you have sleeping mask and earplugs. Bathrooms are warm and clean. The staff is very friendly. There are also a lot of activities to socialize, if you want. Unfortunately didn't have time to participate. The location is good enough, near the 103rd station "1" trains. The area is also walkable.

Didn’t know what to expect staying at a hostel but it was such a cool experience. I wish I’d stayed longer. There were curated experiences for the guests. I only got to check out the comedy night. Definitely cheesy (and crude) but still enjoyable! And such a fusion of cultures. You’ll meet people from all over the world!

It's convenient to go to and from Laguardia Airport. It's quiet in the neighborhood, and easy to go downtown.

A great hostel itself. It's all silly girls spending hours in front of the public mirrors putting silly make-up on that destroy the place.

This is a good hostel, with the 8-share room having everything needed - individual padlockable cupboard, power and light at the bed, solid bunk construction and a privacy curtain. On-site café was a good feature and the guest kitchen looked clean and well-equipped. On the lower side, there was just a single TV in the common area (not enough for such a big hostel) and just a single desktop computer for paid use. The lowest mark is given to the slow elevator that is shared with the service staff and their big linen carts. Location was really good - close to transport, shops, food, but not in the part of NYC that doesn’t sleep.

Bedroom was warm. There was no ac? However the hallways did have Ac? Some Ac? Good ac!
I enjoyed the expansive, updated, well managed property. It is a friendly accommodating place excellent for travel.
Personal Highlights;
Outdoor seating Space, Full Borderline commercial kitchen with refrigerators for short term food storage.
Theater room, med to long term lockers, game room, healthy bookshelf, laundry on 2nd floor *tap to pay*, good bathroom setting, good shower pressure,
comfy bunks with a phone/device charging USB at head height. Locker space in bedroom (bring or rent a lock)
This hostel is great because of the multi-post event and local activity board to keep you out and about if you choose to experience new NouNs (persons, places, or things)
And lastly my favorite was the cafe inside of the hostel.
Aka the pleasant breakfast smell factory. Equipped with hot breakfast fare, coffee, and delightful baked goods. Offered at lower than New York City prices. How nice.
All included within a budget friendly price point for a nights stay.

Nice place to stay. The bathroom which is very important to me was fine, specially the shower area, very nice. The lobby staff were very friendly, and there is an electrical outlet in every bed so you can charge your cell phone.
5.0
It's perfect for folks traveling who want easy access to those touristy spots (Times Sq, Chambers St, Broadway, etc.) without having to stay in it. It's an easy 10-15 minute subway ride to almost everything, and less than a two minute walk to the subway.
Also a nice walkable distance to the upper-west side of Central Park.
