Perfect for staying in New York. Loved the location, the vibe and the hostel's proximity to the subway. I also loved the age range here. Everyone is welcome 🙏

Beautiful building, fun atmosphere, everything was as described. Wish I could have stayed longer and participated in more activities. What a great way to meet people and travel on a budget!

For New York 70-80€/night for a 4-bed female dorm seems cheap but it’s truly not worth it. Bathrooms aren’t in the room which is inconvenient and not what you’d except at this price. There was constant noise (like banging) probably due to poor insulation. I get that NYC is expensive and options are limited but in any other city it would not be good value. There should be more hostels to increase competition and improve prices and quality.

Awesome place, especially for a solo traveler! Lots of amenities and in a great location, only a block away from the subway. Highly recommend, would stay here again. My only complaint is that they have gender neutral bathrooms, but they are not single occupancy. As a trans person, the fact that they're not single occupancy makes me more nervous of an altercation happening than in the men's bathroom. Other than that, awesome place.

El alojamiento muy bueno, cocina amplia y súper bien equipada, el barrio es tranquilo y seguro, está cerca de dos lineas de metro y en cuanto al personal de recepción, amables y siempre disponible. Ahora, creo que el punto débil son los huéspedes: aceptaban grupos grandes de adolescentes en excursiones (resultaron algo molestos e invasivos, ocupando pasillos y gritando) y en mi cuarto (solo mujeres) dos niñas olían horrible, dejaban basura y no abrían las ventanas. Pero instalaciones 10/...

Does the job if you just need a place to sleep, and the beds were good. Not much of a social atmosphere though. There are some very strange characters staying here making the place feel quite unsafe at times, on top of this the hostel is located in the middle of a housing project near the Harlem border so i wouldt go outside alone after dark. My room was quiet and felt safe, and staff were friendly and its close to the subway.

I stayed 1 night so can’t say much but these are my experiences: 👍🏼 *Front desk was nice ✔️me in early had the room prepped after 10 minutes of my arrival so I didn’t have to wait 1.5 hours to check in 🤷🏻‍♂️ *Lounge bathroom smells horrible but my room/bathroom was spot on so maybe they just missed the lounge * The bartender said the free drink doesn’t include tea even though the front desk told me so. She also looks miserable & tired that’s why people shouldn’...

👍🏼Bed 👍🏼Staff 👍🏼Lounges / Hangout Areas 👍🏼Location 👍🏼 Recommend and would stay here again Only downside was the men’s shower on 4th floor ( Not sure how the other bathrooms are but I was on this floor. I think most of the toilet flush sensors doesn’t work and people don’t see the button or too hard to press so they just assume it’s broken so it’s not being flushed and making the bathroom smells bad. Also some of the shower handles keeps coming off and ...

I would still say for New York this hostel works well location wise and while it’s not cheap it is cheaper than other places. It’s a big place so sometimes it’s filled with large groups of high schoolers taking away the hostel vibe. Feels more like a high school dorm sometimes

Staff was kind during check in + help with bags. Only it was way too hut during the night in the rooms. The facilitied were crowded and I would install more showers. But location is amazing and they have many activities in which people can participate to get to know others.

It is always a bit of a gamble with these big hostels. The hostel itself is nice: friendly staff, spacious outdoor section, sweet location by Central Park. But these positives easily get tainted when the hostel is taken over by hundreds of French high schoolers who run around the corridors way past the quiet hours like it is their own kindergarten. No staff was seen handling the issue. It should not be for the guests to enforce the night-time peace. A solid 8/10 hostel without this :)

Easily best hostel I’ve been to! Great calmly social atmosphere, very welcoming and personable staff (shout out to the Tunisian at the desk who was great for help and recommendations). Overall a great, safe, clean atmosphere- where you can choose to socialise / do your own thing. Plenty of space and have a cafe. Really good rooms too, great big lockers which light up on approach, and a big long mirror in the room. Plenty of bathrooms/showers and slept exceptionally well here, would deffo retu...

I booked this hostel through the site, and my stay exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, helpful, and genuinely kind. The entire space was very clean and well maintained, which made me feel comfortable right away. One of the things I loved most was the layout. There were plenty of cozy nooks and quiet corners where you could sit, work, study, or just relax. It struck a great balance between social energy and personal space. The location was fa...
