Nothing personally but If you’re not very good with stairs this wouldn’t be for you, there’s 4 flights to go up

It was my first visit to New York & I liked the hostel’s calm atmosphere, it is a nice retreat from the hustle & bustle of NY & Ravi was very helpful. The breakfast is nice & healthy, the bed was comfy & everyone respected the quiet rule, I slept well. It is also a great price for the location.

I wish it were a little easier to meet other travlers - basically all the space is taken up by the rooms.

Great location, small rooms, but you get what you pay for. Definitely the best cheap way to get a private room near Midtown Manhattan for a week or so.

This review is hidden because it doesn't meet our guidelines.

If you snore or if you think you snore, this is not the place for you. They have rooms like place but it is open ceiling so the sound travels. If you are disrupting other guests while they are sleeping they will come and bang at your door and ask you to use nose strips or if not they can ask you to leave. I have heard them do this to one of the guests in the building, good thing the guy use his nose strips.

The staff were really nice and they were very helpful. They provided me with things I needed for my stay.

Small room , 3 or 4 flight walkup, but was traveling light

Great location near FIT, fair price considering last minute booking and it being NY, clean and quiet, and great breakfast, friendly staff.

Room was tiny. A lot of other people which didn't speak English stayed there so it was a bit loud in the morning. Also it was hot. The shared bathroom was busy. Stay was not too comfortable. And price was high. My friend stayed in another hotel from AirBnb with much better apartment and for lower prices.

Great location in the center of Manhattan. You could meet new people in the hostel. Decent bagels for breakfast

Wi-fi wasn't the best. It worked decently, but would often crash. Rooms don't have proper roofs so you can often hear other people at night and have to be very quiet in the rooms.

Location is the best part since it is in the centre of Manhattan. It is quite close to the Empire State Building and Madison Square Garden. Showers and toilets are shared, and they were decently clean, so no problem there. There is also a breakfast where you have cereal, bread and stuff, and some fruit, which is nice. Rooms are tiny, but since it is a hostel and you technically have your own private room, you can't complain much. Value for money is awesome if you plan on travelling the city the whole day and come here just to sleep. Especially since it is much cheaper than anything else in the city.

That’s a lot of stairs for an old lady.

Extremely good value for a bed room in NYC. It’s much like a hostel, so you need to be ready for cooperative living space and other people making noises during the night. I expected this, so was not surprised. But everyone was great.

The room and restroom were too small. It was difficult to sleep at time due to conversation in the sleeping area and snoring.

The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a convenient walk to transportation.

The showers are narrow, so that ist might be difficult for a tall Person.

The staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcomed.

You could only occasionally use the bathroom down the hall it was so small you could barely turn around. Luckily I belong to Planet Fitness a block and half away so I could use the bathroom and take a shower

It was amazingly clean. There was constant food available but no bugs or cockroaches, amazing.

FYI - the rooms are like cubicles - private on all four sides, but open at the top. The nighttime noise wasn't too bad, but the staff got pretty weird about snoring. One staff member pounded on my door around 5am (I was already awake) to loudly reprimand me for snoring, which was a little annoying and embarrassing. The cubicle design also prevented airflow, which made the air hot and stuffy, even on a relatively cool night. It wasn't a very comfortable sleep. I think both of these issues could be solved if they provided fans, both to move air and to add some ambient white noise.

The location is top-tier, right next to Penn Station and Madison Square Garden, and that alone would make it a great stay. It's also super clean, cozy, and has just about everything you need for a comfortable stay. Despite being a hostel, there's a big emphasis on visual privacy, which was great. It reminded me of the small hourly sleeping rooms that are common in Japan. They also have open access to drinking water, tea/coffee, and snacks. That was a godsend for a frugal tourist since I could come and go throughout the day and grab a snack while changing clothes, dropping off souvenirs, etc. The place itself feels very inclusive and safe, which I really appreciated. Just be aware that you can't bring meat products, open alcohol, etc. into the building. Check-out is 11:00am, which was awesome. They also offer free bag storage. 100% worth it if you're looking to stay somewhere clean and central without breaking the bank.

Bed is quite uncomfortable, and there’s a long flight of stairs to climb. Bathrooms might be cramped as well.

Good privacy for a reasonable price (based on New York standards). Free breakfast is provided. Staff was very nice. Bed and room are clean.
