I had a blast moment in NYC! The appartment was clean, people sharing was super coll, a really near to e erything (central park, times square, etc.). The staff was super cool, preparing everything before check-in... My advice, don't hesitate and go to SWISS 1291 HOSTEL. Will be back soon hopefully! La location était parfaite, une équipe au top et parfaitement bien situé dans NYC (central park, times squares, etc.)N'hésitez plus,j'ai vécu une superbe expérience et j'espère revenir JESSICA, from France ~ 24th May 2012

This hostel was disgusting and extremely dirty. I only stayed here for two nights, and I hated it. The bathroom was absolute filth with hair and dirt everywhere, and the bed was foul! The pillow obviously had never been replaced since the hostel opened, and the pillow and the quilt both smelled really really bad. I stayed at another bigger hostel for half the money, so I was expecting basic cleanliness. Atmosphere sucked too. Would def not recommend this hostel ever! YUCK!

Excellent location! 10 min walk to Times Square and 5 minutes to Columbus Circle. The staff was very nice and pleasant. Room (sleeps 5) was actually a studio apartment, with a kitchen and bathroom en suite. Darko, from USA ~ 18th May 2012

An ideally located hostel... A pleasant staff and a correct room... We shall just regret the state of the bedding despicable of a professional hosting (Mattress of which there are only springs and pillows which is juste an amount of cotton) Marc, from France ~ 27th Apr 2012
