Good Experience

This is a great place to stay if you want to have a European hostel experience...just do not expect more than what you pay for.

Don't Believe the Photographs!

If you stay in the area, check out the PanAmerican cafe on Broadway. Amazing fresh baked goods, coffee, etc. The lox bagel and croissants are fabulous.

Was very cheap and a nice place to stay if you are on a budget.

Go to Soho if you want cute tops and shoes. Cheap cute pants!

Convenient but uncomfortable

If you are staying more than 3 days, you may want to get a weekly pass for subway and buses. $25 per week.

as expected

At the end of the day, it's a hostel. Can't expect much from it. Overall it's ok. Room is only cleaned once for the duration of your stay. A very rude receptionist, so don't expect a warm welcome. Toilet is shared by quite a lot of people, but they're cleaned daily. Just lower your expectation to a minimum and you'll find it all right.

Good for the price

The room was clean and so was the bathroom. The staff that helped us were nice and for the price it was good. I would recommend the hostel for young people or those who just want a place to stay that is cheap and safe.
