Very clean. Many details are well-designed. The only problem is the elevator. The buttons don’t light up when pressed. It’s been like this for years. I believe they’ve received many complaints but i understand it can be hard to upgrade the elevator while keeping the hostel running smoothly because everyone has luggage

Avi

Liked: Cleanliness
Elevator was broken for a large part of the stay, forcing many guests to lug their valises up three flights of stairs. Moreover, the hostel should provide extra sheets and towels in the room. One poor guy didn't have a towel. To make matters worse, he only realized this upon removing all his clothes and galivanted naked while complaining about the lack of such amenities. All told, the experience was decent. . .

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place is great, but they have to remind the other guests this is a shared bedroom so they need to respect quiet hours, there was people getting in and out the dormitory all night long walking fast and moving things noisily with no consideration at all. Beside noisy neighbors all great with the place.

I booked for a one night stay. There were two options 1) No refund 2) Full Refund. I opted option 1 as I am a budget traveler. Had to cancel my plan and ended up not getting any refunds. It would be better if they deduct some money and refund the remaining as it will help all budget travellers

My first time in a hostel and I loved it! The rooms were clean, there were a lot of common areas to hang out, and the sense of community was really heartwarming, particularly the emphasis on welcoming international travellers! Convenient locations super close to the subway and Central Park. My one complaint would be the one functioning elevator is very slow, but I just took the stairs. Overall would definitely stay here again!
