It's exactly what you pay for. Where else can you stay in NYC for this price? The bed was very uncomfortable and the provided sheet left me freezing through out the night...Other than that, it's a roof over your head for a great price.

No amenities except Wi-Fi, but only on ground floor. Low rates but only a few dollars less than another hostel 15 blocks uptown which offers a lot of amenities. Rooms are only 2 person rooms.

Dirty—No bother to sweep, scrub, etc.

The most disgusting hostel ever. There were no attempts to clean or maintain this building. Nothing had been swept or cleaned prior to my arrival except my sheets and pillowcase over a pancake thin pillow. Chairs in the room were falling apart and looked like they were picked up while dumpster diving. The window in my room didn’t close all the way. The shower drain didn’t work. The key system didn’t work so they had to let me in the building and room. The bathroom smelled like mildew. No internet.

It's cheap which is excellent for a college student who visits NY for a one night stand or for anybody, who wants to save money. However the conditions for cheap payment comes with poor quality.
