I reserved this hotel on this web ten days ahead of times, but when I arrived, the staff of reception told me that all room are full, then called someone to reseal me to another hotel 96th street. That day was raining, so it was a very unpleasant move. The staff was very rude and without any faith. I hate... more

I got to the hostel past 3pm and there was a long line of ppl lining up outside the hostel waiting to check- in. The staff were inefficient on handling the check- ins. Many waited for 30- 50 mins in the crammed lobby waiting to check in. As I am a single woman, I thought the staff will have more... more

We thought this was a fairly decently priced hostel. We had a very small private room but there was plenty of space down in the lounge. The staff seemed reasonable and it was in a very safe and nice neighborhood and were happy with what we got for the price we paid. But BEWARE...we came out covered in bedbug bites.... more

I stayed here in April 2009 for 4 nights at $16 per person per night. The location is fantastic, next to central park a subway station. It was a bit of a shock when i first got there. The rooms are very small and cramped but are clean and we didnt spend much time in there. Its ok if its... more

as opposed to the inhospitality business, Terrible customer service bordering on rude behavior which may turn off all the good things the neighborhood has to offer. If you can, force your cabdriver to accelerate when in front of this place instead of stopping. Booking this place was a terrible mistake. more

Visited New York in 2006 with my sister. Decided to stay here as it was cheap. Big mistake. 1. Building smelt of urine 2. The room was really basic, $10 child's bed frame and shabby sheets. 3. Paint coming off the walls, rat poison everywhere, mold on the walls and celling. 4. Shared bathroom, blocked loo and urine on the... more

I went to New York in december 2008 for a week with 2 other friends and we stayed at another hotel prior to this. That particular hotel was three times the price at the weekend ..therefore we came here for the last 3 nights of our stay , because it was a hell of a lot cheaper and had vacancies...funnily... more

Please don't stay here. It is grim. There are many hostels available for travellers on a budget, use this only as a last resort. We arrived at 1am (as had been booked) and they'd let our room go. They told us to get a taxi a dozen blocks north to their other hostel. There were no apologies. We arrived, made... more

This hostel was great. This time we booked a private room with two beds in and it the room was completely satisfactory. The whole hostel was lovely and warm and clean. The bathrooms were kept nice and clean which is often not the case in some hostels. The location was great, really close to Central Park and really close to... more

Great neighborhood, so-so hotel. We ended up on the 4th floor, no elevator of course. The room was spartan (no table, no chair, not even hook to hang a coat) but clean and quiet, that is until a group of German school kids started queuing for the shower next door... A bit rough if you've gone to bed in the... more
