Trop de bruit le soir et nuit pour dormir soit de la cour ou soit des personnes de la chambre qui devraient apprendre des règles bien vivre

The facilities were clean, the cafe downstairs was very convenient and the overall atmosphere was great! Events and tours were a nice extra.
The beds could have been sturdier as every time someone would walk past my bed, it would shake and wake me up. The same happened when the person sleeping under me was switching sides - very frustrating. The elevator was very slow. The rooms should've had more outlets! I stayed in room 331 and it was extremely frustrating that the beds did not have individual outlets!

Las instalaciones son súper amplias, la sala de estar, la cocina, el hall, todo acorde al tamaño del hostel. Las habitaciones cómodas y con muy buena calefacción
Había un solo ascensor para todo el edificio y al ser tan grande el hostel, a veces demora al parar en cada piso. Tuve la mala suerte de que se pongan a limpiar los baños en horario previo al check out, en el otro baño del piso había fila y tuve que perder tiempo buscando duchas desocupadas en los otros niveles.

L'emplacement proche de la ligne 1 pour Downtown très pratique. La restauration sur place idéal.
Un lit un peu bruyant ainsi que la soufflerie du chauffage.

Es un lugar amplio, com muchas habitaciones. Hay un lobby donde puedes comer algo (comprando).
Quizás no está tan cerca del centro como pensaba. Siempre hay que moverse en metro.

The location was exceptional for moving in different directions of the city, a subway stop 1 block away, a safe place and a very nice neighborhood.

El lugar cumple perfectamente con las expectativas de calidad y precio. En cuanto a limpieza, el lugar hace su trabajo, sin embargo, depende mucho de con quien compartas habitacion. En mi experiencia durante poco más de una semana y con personas que iban y venian, todos respetaron el espacio y pertenencias de cada uno y fueron amigables.
Mi recomendacion es que vean de mejorar el sistema de frio, hubo noches donde el aire era muy caliente e incomodaba a la hora de descansar. Notar que esto no es un punto de dolor, igual volveria a hospedarme en este hostel.

très bon emplacement, proche du métro ligne 1 rouge, lit confortable,e tout est très propre, très grande auberge avec tout les équipements ! casier dans les chambre. bonne option pour loger à bas prix à manhattan.
tout était OK, juste le prix qui peu varier d'un jour à l'autre, ! j'ai payer 47 euros ma nuit (ce qui n'est absolument pas chèr) et deux jour après j'ai voulus reserver pour ma dernière nuit à NY, la même prestation coutais 133 euros ?? j'ai du me resigner à aller ailleur

Hablan español y mi check in/out fue sencillo, agua caliente siempre, acceso con tarjeta, bonitas áreas comunes, tuve casillero, el área de planchado y lavado, tienen un área donde venden comida y snacks, muy céntrico, cerca de paradas de buses y tren, hay un market enfrente y diferentes restaurantes a la redonda.
La cobija que me tocó en mi cama no olía a limpia, llegué a pensar que era re-usada, mi gustaría que en el pequeño restaurante las cosas tuvieran los precios exhibidos de los snacks y bebidas.

キッチン設備が充実していて、使い捨てのカトラリーも準備されていたのですごく助かりました。
パティオも広く、外でのんびりご飯が食べられたので、プライベートも確保しやすかったです。
チェックインの際に指定されたベッドが「A」でしたが、部屋のベッドには数字番号しか見当たらず…ちょっと困りました。
それ以外は何も申し分なかったです。

Great place and the best hostel experience I ever had!The public areas all very clean and well organized, also everything looks brand new! There is a large place to relax in the lobby, also it was a nice outside patio where you have a rest during a nice sunny day! Also there is really convenient and modern kitchen area in the basement where you can cook your own meal during the day!

Pas toujours d'eau chaude dans la douche, les distributeurs de savons ne fonctionnaient plus
Peu de lavabo, complique le matin pour se faire une place
Beaucoup de bruit de la rue, le batiment n'est pas non plus insonorise par rapport au couloir

Good cafeteria inside the hostel. Close to public transport.
Unfortunately my opinion will be based on the fact that my stay was just after i stayed for a week in the HI Boston Hostel of the same chain. Unlike their partner there was no free coffee or breakfast. Employees were much ruder and non helpful (except the cleaning staff). I had to change my room after 3 days without previous notice (was informed on check-in). That meant that i had to repack my stuff, bring my bag to the reception, change keys, sign the form again and wait 04 hours between the room change (11am - 3pm - there was no room available for a direct change). Never had to deal with this before.
They charge 05 dollars to keep your bag in the hostel after check-out (also a first timer). The fact that NY is expensive and probably full all the time probably means they dont care too much about customer service (except if you are in a large group of teenagers as there were a TON).
If not for the name i would never guess that they are from the same chain of Boston. The difference is felt easily.

- Pods - pods with rolling doors allows for more privacy than bunk bends with curtains. they allow for full darkness which helps you sleep better after whole day of sightseeing. Additionally in the pod there is: a light and fan (both regulated, so you can dim them/adjust speed), mirror, 2 usb ports and other 2 regulators which I didn't explore. The sliding door in the pods don't lock (or at least I couldn't). Btw room has its own light with also has adjustable brightness.
- Bathroom - you have a small bathroom in room for 6, so it should be easier to keep it tidy but you also have the option of a common bathroom in the corridor. A towel is prepared on your bed.
- Location - right next to Central Park. Nice buildings around. Subway 2 blocks away (5min walk)
- People - more mature. Small groups of 5 but respectful. Others travelled in 1-3s. They were 27+
- Rooftop - you can go on a rooftop but it's for the building's square. No amazing views but can go for a smoke if you do and need one. There is no drinking/smoking on hotel premises.
- Bagel morning - off you wake up early enough you might catch a morning bagel with tea/coffee, some peanut butter, milk and cereal as a good start of the day. Yes, it's free.
- Blankets - you usually get just thin blanket and a bed sheet to match it. Can get cold, however I was fine. Not sure if you are cold though. Probably would have to go and ask the reception
- No elevator - if you travel with a heavy bag, be prepared to carry it up the stairs to the 2-4 floor
- Small lockers - lockers are best for document and other small things. Stuffing it with school bag might work but anything other than that won't fit. Buy a lock or bring one with you. Additionally, the room doesn't have that much space, so your case will be against the wall closed.
- No personnel 24/7 - out of 3 nights, twice i arrived just after midnight. There was nobody at the reception. Had to rely on others to open the door for me.

La posizione
Soggiorno di 7 giorni con prenotazione di 5 mesi in anticipo mi hanno fatto cambiare 3 camere con relativi check-out e check-in.
Gruppi di scuole che la notte non ti fanno dormire.

The hostel was at a walk-able distance from the Line 1 Subway, Easy to get in and out. Clean facilities and a huge kitchen facilities. The idea of breaking the ice and talk to other users. Planned activities, like the tour with Phil to Tribeca. Other similar activities were included. Convenient corner-shops on Amsterdam Av to get food. Big individual LOCKERS in the dormitory. Clean areas and bilingual staff.
Perhaps the insuficient number of MALE facilities in the 2nd floor compared to FEMALE and ALL GENDER. I think the 1st floor of the building might have had more additional male facilities.

Clean, had everything you need. Friendly staff and great value for money for the location. Would highly recommend.
Could use toilets in the bedrooms so don’t need to get up at night and walk down the corridor.

The location is good as it is close to two metro stations, with easy access to downtown.
I didn't have to wait for a shower, I suppose I used it during non-peak hours. The bed and sheets were clean, and the bathroom as clean as it can get in a hostel with so many people. The check-in and check-out were easy.
Even though it was close to subway stations, the location was not that good in terms of restaurants and things to do.
The bed was not that comfortable but it was expected. The room is VERY smelly, smelling like cheese all the time, even with changing guests, I guess that is because the window doesn't open and the door is all day closed.
The very down point for me was the shower, very low water pressure and the hot water didn't really work, I heard from other guests that it got better when you open all the showers, which I did but the water just got warm-ish enough not to freeze.
9.0
The staff were friendly & helpful, the hostel is quite clean for one of such a big size and so busy! People in my room were quiet and respectful, and the facilities in the hostel are good. The location is great for easy access to multiple trains. Bathrooms were never too busy despite lots of people sharing them!
The hot water wasn't working in some of the women's washrooms, but there were other washrooms you could choose.
