This is a nice hostel in Brooklyn. I satyed here for a weekend and was quite happy. The rooms are very clean, the staff is friendly and ready to help. It is great place to meet cool people from all over the world. The location is good and it is easy to reach a subway.

The only good thing I can say about this hostel is that the people who were staying there were great, but other than that, it was the worst attitude towards clients I've ever seen. Plus the place, toilets especially, was very dirty. Overall, a horrible experience. Left to the international hosteling in Manhattan which was slitely more expensive but much... More

I stayed here with my friend during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. We arrived and dumped our bags and went for a drink in the area. When we got back that evening we were a little worse for wear and the receptionist at the desk said he'd 'show us round'. My impression was that he thought he'd take advantage of... More

I stayed a while back (oct 11), it was pretty good and the location was good for me close to greenpoint and williamsburg. I would say it isn't for everyone, it's a hostel and it is an ok hostel. That's all you need. I would read some of the other reviews though because it seems like there might be some... More

The housekeeper attempted to steal my camera ( a $1000) Nikon). I asked her where it was after she had cleaned my room, in front of the manager, she denied seeing it and then I found it on her cart hidden under her supplies.
