Thank you for making a nice stay for us in your hostel. We had a very good time. One thing is that there seems to be a smell of old house/carpet in the hallway and room. That's probably because the building is old in the first place. Thanks again!

My friends and I had such a great time at the hostel. Even though we only stayed one night, we completely enjoyed the experience. The location is excellent as it is really close to Union Square. In the morning, we had a great breakfast of orange juice and bagels. We all agreed we would definately come back again!!!

This is one of the worst hostel I have ever stayed at. The room was too warm, and smelled like urin. Plus for the location.

This hostel was in a great loaction, right off Union Square. The staff was helpful, and the rooms were decent. The beds are a little uncomfortable, but nothing horrible. It is a little pricy if you are not an HI member. It felt safe, and centrally located. Highly recommended.

If you need a place to sleep, this is a good place: clean, breakfast included...Two nights in february is too short time to rate the "Fun", sorry.

HI Downtown is brilliant! I am already on my way back! This is the best Hostel ever, and I can highly recomend it. The staff is fun, open and global, I like! It's a lot of hostel for that low amount of money, it's so worth it. The location is perfect, close to transportation, close to THE shopping area, great food nearby and the people you meet around here is awsome! The kitchen could be better, even if there's not more breakfast to it, there should be some more groceries to choose from, which one can pay for. But this is a good hostel. Book it and have the time of your life! You meet new roommates everyday and you'll get friends for life, i've got two!
