I was actually very impressed by this hostel! It was very clean, had a shower and a bathroom down the hall that were very nice. The room had a bunk bed and shelf-space, and I was a little skeptical when I saw there were only sheets on the bed and two tiny blankets for myself and my father. But once... more

I stayed here for five nights. Functional rooms of not particular cleanliness. I disliked the airless bathrooms. In the middle of summer, they are not pleasant. But, hey, I was not there for the luxurious surroundings, plus it is a hostel after all. Their breakfast is good quality, but is extremely poorly served. With a little rearrangement and some sensible... more

I have been living in New York for some months now, and the thing about this city is that accommodation and space is expensive. There are millions of people traveling here to this tiny island and there has to be somewhere to house them all. I have stayed in the Chelsea for 2 nights. The people arent that friendly, but... more

This was our first hostel experience in the USA, but having had many since then I feel able to write a well-rounded review. We booked in to a private room for 5 nights. On arriving at the hostel we were greeted (after a long queue) by a surly manager who checked us in. Fortunately a mistake had been made at... more

Stayed here as part of a group trip in March 2009. I have never stayed in a hostel before so didn't really know what to expect. The one benefit that there rooms were clean and bed linen seem to be clean and fresh. Room was very compact, with 3 sets of bunk beds and a set of lockers. bathroom was... more

The staff was extremely rude. They also overbooked rooms several times so even people with reservations lost their rooms. Dealing with the staff was a pain since they could not have cared less about their customers and because the lines were always really long. more

I stayed at this hostel for a whole week and the first six days were ok. The rooms were quite small and hot and the beds were not that good, but it all worked out somehow. But everything went wrong with the reservation. They have this summer offer "stay here for 4 nights and get the 5th night for free"... more

Having not stayed in a hostel before, and in all honesty being a bit of a snob about it, I thought this place was brilliant. I stayed with my friend in a private room with bunk beds which was perfectly adequate in size. It had shelves for storage, a sink and mirror and the beds were comfy and clean, if... more

we had booked to stay there for 5 nights with a room requested for 4 and a bathroom. The "Jack Osborne" look alike was the most obnoxious person ever! We hadn't had confirmation of our reservation but when we got there were told that we could stay the night by "Jack" and that we would have to see the next... more
