Christian, 1-night trip

This was a new location in the city to stay for me and I had a really good stay. The only downside was the incredibly slow elevator which is really just knit picking as I had a really good experience.

Will go there again

Nice, quiet & considerate guests in my all-female 10-count room. Climate control seemed perfect. Front desk check-in was simple but thorough. The cafe is the Bomb. A local church tower with noon bells.

Thomas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

One of the best hostels in the country! Traveling on a very tight budget in NYC and needed place to lay my head at night. This hostel is FANTASTIC. It’s cleaner with more amenities than some of the cheaper hotels. Plus it’s close to the heart of NYC and lots of transportation accessibility. If you don’t mind sharing a room with people, this is a great place to stay. Great little coffee shop and restaurant in lobby too. I’d rather stay here and be close to everything than spend more than double on a dingy motel outside the city.
Raina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed for just one day and really enjoyed myself. The room, bathroom, and common areas were very clean, and the staff was courteous throughout my visit. The hostel’s location is excellent—just one block from Broadway, about a 10-minute walk to Central Park, and close to the subway. There are plenty of cafés and restaurants within walking distance, which made exploring the neighborhood easy and fun. I also joined one of their weekly events, which was a great way to meet new friends and make memories, even though the venue was a bit farther away. There was some construction inside the hostel, but it didn’t interfere with my stay at all. I didn’t use the kitchen, but overall, I highly recommend this hostel for anyone looking for a clean, friendly, and well-situated place to stay in uptown New York.

Clean bed and bedroom. Your roommates, well, it's a gamble really. My experience with the bathroom was great. Super clean! Yes, it is shared. But, felt as same as being in my gym. Nothing new, sharing a bathroom. Super happy that I can visit Manhattan on a budget again.
