The sleep pods are nice and provide a comfortable sleep environment. The bathrooms are clean and the showers as well. Nice place to stay on a budget in NYC. There is plenty of places near by to get food. And it’s right off Central Park which is convenient. The Subway is only a short walk and easy to get to.

The staff is very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.
My flight to NY was canceled and I notified Kama so I wouldn’t be marked as a ‘no show’ and they were ready for me when I arrived the next day.

Awesome location, within steps of Central Park. Very welcoming vibe and amenities. I left behind an item when I checked out, and staff member Yancy helped me set up a way to have it shipped back to my home state. Great!

Positives: Economical, clean, safe, convenient location, friendly staff, shared restrooms are clean and modern, small locker in room to store valuables (must provide own lock).
Negatives: Bunk beds are claustrophobic and difficult to access (especially upper bunk), no chair or table in room, very few hooks to hang clothes, no elevator (difficult to carry luggage upstairs to upper floors).

Bed and linens very clean and comfortable enough. Safe secure bldg. Old bldg=radiator blasts heat and no control over it. Code to room inexplicably stopped working;same for light in bathroom. Noise from slamming doors and metal lockers will prevent sleep; bring noise cancelling headphones.
