Cool experience
Didn’t know what to expect staying at a hostel but it was such a cool experience. I wish I’d stayed longer. There were curated experiences for the guests. I only got to check out the comedy night. Definitely cheesy (and crude) but still enjoyable! And such a fusion of cultures. You’ll meet people from all over the world!

Before booked I read some comments that said is dirty and the staff is rude or whatever. Nothing like that. The place is nice: clean, the staff is good as well. They have a cafeteria with variety of drinks including orange juice, coffee and a selection for breakfast (fruit, eggs, croissants, baggies etc). The WiFi is very good. The rooms are good as well. The only thing I didn’t like is the elevator it take so long to get from one floor to the other and the locker at the room are not big enough for big luggage (if you have one) but out of that for the price and location is good.

It's a good budget friendly hostel considering how expensive NYC is. Nice facilities and everyone is cordial with each other. About 5-10 mins walk to subway station, and there's a whole foods and trader joes within a few blocks away.
