“ I had a great time there the staff is really cool and the location of the place is perfect! You can feel the real spirit of New York! Upper west side is a great place to stay. We were 10 people in a room but everyone was quiet so i managed to sleep very well troughout my entire stay.Downstairs you can find a nice big livingroom with a kitchen. You can cook and meet new people from all over the world. Or you can just watch TV or play games (they have like tones of games). I had a great time ! :) ”

“ Good enough to sleep ONLY. That's all I can give to this place. The location sure is great! 2 blocks from central park, but the place itself looks kind of sad and abandoned. It appears to be clean but could be better. ( a roach crawled up my friend's backpack while checking in) staff too serious, only the girl would give you a smile now and then, the other two guys barely speak lol. ”

“ Location is prime! Proximity to subway was great. Facilities were average. Wish that lockers were available in rooms - felt a little worried about leaving my stuff on my bed. A/C units would be a great addition in bedrooms. ”

“ I like the hostel. I wish there was a bit more ventilation in the bathroom because it got super moist after somebody took a shower. ”

“ You have to leave your baggage at the door and there is NO wi-fi. It is weird because it is 2014 and New York!!! ”

“ The most horrible place of those that I have attended. Disgusting attitude of staff to clients. The main attraction - you need to leave the suitcase at the reception! and all things out of the suitcase you can take in room in the hands or bags! The kitchen is dirty. There is not even a kettle. The only plus of this hostel - its location and all!! ”

“ The location is half a block from central park and half a block from decently priced restaurants and bars. The neighborhood is fairly upscale, and I never felt unsafe. It is indeed rather hard to spot, especially if you'll arrive after the sun sets, but it's nestled in between some beautiful brownstone townhomes, almost exactly halfway down the block, face south and you should be right there. An overall great experience on my first trip to NY, I recommend this hostel and will stay here again! ”
