The cafe offered a great range at reasonable prices, and was open late. Staff were helpful, and had arranged entertainment options every evening. Location was convenient to the subway, and there was a good range of eateries and other shops nearby. Area was noisy, but seemed safe. The bed could have been more comfortable, and the price was high for a bunk in a large dorm, but hey, it's New York City.

Good comfortable hostel well located
This is a good hostel, with the 8-share room having everything needed - individual padlockable cupboard, power and light at the bed, solid bunk construction and a privacy curtain. On-site café was a good feature and the guest kitchen looked clean and well-equipped. On the lower side, there was just a single TV in the common area (not enough for such a big hostel) and just a single desktop computer for paid use. The lowest mark is given to the slow elevator that is shared with the service staff and their big linen carts. Location was really good - close to transport, shops, food, but not in the part of NYC that doesn’t sleep.

Bedroom was warm. There was no ac? However the hallways did have Ac? Some Ac? Good ac! I enjoyed the expansive, updated, well managed property. It is a friendly accommodating place excellent for travel. Personal Highlights; Outdoor seating Space, Full Borderline commercial kitchen with refrigerators for short term food storage. Theater room, med to long term lockers, game room, healthy bookshelf, laundry on 2nd floor *tap to pay*, good bathroom setting, good shower pressure, comfy bunks with a phone/device charging USB at head height. Locker space in bedroom (bring or rent a lock) This hostel is great because of the multi-post event and local activity board to keep you out and about if you choose to experience new NouNs (persons, places, or things) And lastly my favorite was the cafe inside of the hostel. Aka the pleasant breakfast smell factory. Equipped with hot breakfast fare, coffee, and delightful baked goods. Offered at lower than New York City prices. How nice. All included within a budget friendly price point for a nights stay.
