Cool experience
Didn’t know what to expect staying at a hostel but it was such a cool experience. I wish I’d stayed longer. There were curated experiences for the guests. I only got to check out the comedy night. Definitely cheesy (and crude) but still enjoyable! And such a fusion of cultures. You’ll meet people from all over the world!

It's a good budget friendly hostel considering how expensive NYC is. Nice facilities and everyone is cordial with each other. About 5-10 mins walk to subway station, and there's a whole foods and trader joes within a few blocks away.

Clean, well maintained, close to public transport and amenities like restaurants. Beds had curtains, plug ins and reading lights. Loved having the option of renting a locker to keep luggage safe after checking out. Would recommend.

It was so hot. The second I entered the property I started sweating. I had to buy a fan for just one night. Any time I was not directly in front of that fan, I was sweating. Otherwise the stay was fine.
