We had a really great stay at this hostel! Everything was very well organized, the communication was easy, and the self-check-in process was very convenient. The location is definitely one of the best things about this place. It’s super close to the 116th Street subway station, just a few minutes away, which made it very easy for us to get around New York and explore the city. The place was comfortable, convenient, and exactly what we needed for our trip. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting New York. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The building was a bit warn down, I didn’t mind that though, since the room and bathroom were both clean and the cleaning staff very friendly. The room was small and cozy, the bed was comfortable and I absolutely loved the view of the city. The one thing I really missed was a kettle in the kitchen so that I could have made instant coffee and tea rather than having to go out to buy it every time. And a mini-fridge would be a wonderful addition to keep a few food items fresh and beverages cold in the heat. That would make a great difference when traveling on a budget. Location worked fine for me NYC is very walkable and there’s a subway very close by as well.

Stay was pretty good. Room is pretty small, however it has all you need. The bathroom situation was alright, however not all 4 rooms on our floor were occupied. The area was fine, not the best not the worst. Getting back at 22 felt safe enough as there's plenty of people around. At first we didn't receive the door code and it took a couple days to get a response. Though it was probably a one time thing, as our other requests got answered reasonably fast. Still not great.
