We were surprise that the family room was actually that nice! It was nothing like a hostel. spacious room, nice, clean, charming, comfortable. great experience. nice price. 2 minute walk from the subway station. dont go elsewhere, this is the place. we were in a family of 4 and the family room worked out perfectly. No complaints! More

The hostel is very close to 103st subway station, wich is very useful! The room are clean, the beds are nice and the bathrooms also very clean. The service is nice as well, and they organize events, crawls and other activities to the guests. I recommend for those who likes a nice accomodation without spending too much money. More

My sister and I stayed at this hostel in October as it was definitely budget-friendly for us. The location is really convenient and close to transit. It made it really easy getting from the airport to the hostel - only one transfer at Penn Station! Like many of the other reviews stated, the hostel is crowded. The first night we... More

Have to say I was really disappointed with this place, I've stayed in Hi Hostels all across Canada and the States and this has to have been the worst. It was actually the cleanest and most modern Hi Hostel I stayed in but just terrible staff. When I checked in I was told I'd have to wait 3 hours as... More

THIS hostel suited my purpose in New York spectacularly and I would gladly recommend it to any money-conscious visitor to the Big Apple. It redefined for me what it meant to stay in a hostel. There is no faulting the location. It is within easy walking distance of the 1, 2, 3 and A, B, C and D lines via... More

I booked a room here for New Years period, on the first night I arrived back at the hostel around midnight and settled in to go to bed when I heard scuttling around the window. When I looked up I saw a mouse crawling along the wall just centimeters from my head. I got up and went downstairs to tell... More

One bathroom per floor, with only one or two toilets inside, for at least 20-30 guys is not ideal. the free breakfast was a piece of fruit, which not everyone even got. There were mice in the room the first night we stayed, and upon complaint the night staff said it would be taken care of. that was at 2... More
