Spend only one night here. The location is fantastic. Easy access to the subway and bus stops. The staff seemed a bit standoff-ish. The people who stay there are friendly, improves the ambiance. Breakfast is pretty sketchy - and the bagels were hard as rock :)

The web page says, "Small lockers for valuables in every room." My room had none. You can't say you provide it, and then not do so. Other than that, it was fine, and clean. I can't confirm that there was hot water, though, which seems to be a frequent complaint. The "“VACATE notice posted:Do not Enter building-Conditions Perilous to Life”... More

I was freak out before I came to this hostel as i read a lot of negative reviews about the hostel. I arrived the hostel at night and have 2 guys helped me with my super duper heavy luggage.

Was expecting them to charge for the missed night but wanted to warn I would still be wanting the second night. Arrived the next morning... More

Terrible room. Poor service. No breakfast. Dreadful overall. Avoid at all costs. Better sleeping on the street.

I stayed there for 5 days on Nov 2011. the overall experience was good. Pros: The location is very good, just 1 block from the subway, about 10 min by the sybway to time square. few steps from broadway.The area is very safe. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable,clean linen and sheets with daily room cleaning. the room... More

This was not good! To start off they do not manage to put groups in the same room, even after communicating with them several times on email. Both long time in advance and just before our arrival. We were divided into several rooms, and someone was already in my bed! Also dont trust that you will sleep, the pipes make... More
