We stayed for three nights in New York and chose the Candy Hostel as the other hostels we found were booked up and we were reluctant to spend such a portion of the weekend's budget on somewhere to sleep. The room was impressively tiny - a standard double bed, two shelves with a mirror, a bin and approximately 2 ft... more

Had a great weekend in NYC, staying at Candy Hostel. Everything needed is there, and the staff are very helpfull and friendly, especially Maurice, Kiki, Anita and Kazi (Iam not sure if I have written his name correctly!) I will be back ! Thanks!!! more

Got bed bites the first night and checked out the next day. No money back and the owner acted like it was the most natural thing in the world. Now we have to throw away half our luggage so the bed bugs won't infest our appartment. Can't believe this place is still around. Someone said that they're working on shutting... more

The place is cheap and very dirty. You can smell chemicals most of the time. Our room consisted of 1 bed, 1 trash bin and that's it. The best surprise was: being awaken buy 5cm cockroach in the morning. From the plus side, location was pretty good. Subway (metro and food place :) ) were very close. Pharmacy was very... more

Candy Hostel is so bad that you can't imagine, the rooms were not as they were shown at the webside- hoole in the floor- aircondition almost fell out the window which caused very cold nights and much noise from the street. The staff were unpolite when we asked for more blankets and we asked fore help when the toilet could... more
