me encantó! Súper acogedor y tanto huéspedes como trabajadores amables y amigables. Solo las habitaciones un poco incómodas, pues se mueven mucho y son algo ruidosas.

Had a pleasant time here. Fabulosa the receptionist were all helpful. Room lockers were small, broken, and unsecure. Overall had a good 3 nights. Just remember to bring earplugs.

Awesome building and location. Nice mix of old interieur and refurbished-modern bathrooms. Only the stairs challenged me too hard. Would be nice to have a chair and more power sockets in the rooms. Also the locker didn‘t work because it couldnt get in the right position for the key to be removed (b61). But apart from those little things it‘s such a cool hostel. Free coffee in the morning, interesting books and even a philosophical event in the evening. Lots of love to the manager and ev...

Its location near Central Park is exactly what I needed. All other aspects such as the wonderful staff, facilities and lovely atmosphere were a bonus.

Very helpful and friendly staff. The common areas of the Hostel are some of the nicest I have ever seen and everything is kept perfectly clean. Only two drawbacks: the beds are made out of thin metal frames, which means you can feel every movement of the person in the top bunk. Also the beds are lacking cover (no curtains whatsoever).And there is no washing machine to launder your own clothes on the premises. So with some minor improvements could be the perfect Hostel!

The beds need curtains. They only have mixed dorms. Otherwise, my stay here was fine, expensive for what you get though.

Recomiendo totalmente alojarse aquí! Ubicación perfecta en un barrio hermoso a 1 cuadra de Central Park. Instalaciones cómodas y amplias. Solo mejoraría la litera superior que se mueve un poco. Los voluntarios te hacen sentir como en casa. Y el precio es bueno con respecto a lo que se obtiene.

Auberge de jeunesse impeccable, accueillante en donnant toutes les informations utiles durant notre séjour (à 2 pas de Central parc et du métro). L’état des lieux est impeccable, avec tout le besoin nécéssaire (espace de vie commune…). Étant un voyageur solo, j’ai pris une chambre de 10 lits. Le lit était confortable rien à redire et il y a (2 salles de bain à disposition, neufs et impeccables. J’ai pu faire que de bonnes rencontres bien veillantes ! Je recommande cette auberge...

I stayed here for one night and had such a beautiful experience. By chance, there was a Christmas party happening with neighbors and people from the area, and I was immediately invited to join. Everyone was incredibly open, warm, and welcoming. It felt very natural and genuine, not forced at all. I met so many nice people in such a short time, and the whole atmosphere was full of kindness and positive energy. It felt more like being part of a small community than just staying in a hostel.
