- “ The cleanliness of the hostel was superb. I was at a loss being English Speaking both with service staff and many guests but that is what makes hosteling so rewarding. Front Desk Staff were always so helpful, polite and gracious. I've always stayed at a hostel at 101 & Amsterdam and never again -- L Train into Brooklyn it is. ”

- “ Muy buen hotel, lo malo es que cobran por el uso de wi-fi diariamente y por equipo utilizado ( US$5) , pero todo lo demás bien, queda a menos de 1 cuadra de la estación del metro que te lleva al times square. ”

- “ The room was freezing one night then baking hot the next. I requested to extend my stay and that somehow doubled my rate for the added nights. The breakfast is free but there's nothing without sugar in it and the milk is whole milk. The facilities are excellent. The interiors have an industrial aesthetic that fits the area. Its all concrete, brick and ceramic tile. They keep it very clean and there is none of the drabness I've experienced at other hostels. Very hip neighborhood. ”

- “ The stuff was super great! They are very patient and helpfull. :) it was easy to get to know people and room sizes are good. The breakfast could be a little longer though and bathrooms on the hallway were a bit dirty but not bad. I enjoyed my staying, thank u all! :) ”

- “ Although it's not in Manhattan, the hostel was very accessible via subway. The place was nicely decorated and spacious. Kitchen area was well-supplied, The different events hosted within the hostel offer occupants nice social alternatives to going out. The area seemed to have a healthy bar and restaurant scene, but it's spread out and hard for out-of-towners to see. I think it'd be good if the hostel could provide more information to the backpackers in that regard. ”

- “ This was the first time I've stayed in a hostel, and I was pleased with the experience. I loved the cool atmosphere of the place. It was friendly and seemed to encourage everybody to get to know one another, rather than just nodding in the elevators and otherwise trying to forget that other travelers exist like every hotel I've ever stayed in. I appreciated the common room, the general cleanliness of the place, the friendly staff, and of course the free breakfast. ”

- “ I have enjoyed my stay at the Hostel. It was great to meet people from all over and to communicate with them without any problems. I would definitely recommend the facility to my students and I would also stay at that hostel again. The Common's Room or kitchen is the best place for communication. The information desk was also doing an excellent job in helping me finding my way. Thanks again to them. best regards W. Heffner ”

- “ This was a great spot, just a couple blocks from the L, then a few quick stops to Manhattan. 24-hour reception made it extremely easy to check in, even though it was only a little after 7 - if I had run into any delays, there would have been no issue, so the ease of mind is great. Stayed in a 3-person dorm: comfortable, clean bedding and fresh pillow. Almost everyone at the hostel was your regular 20-something international traveler - generally cool, down for a fun night out, but not bothersome. ”
