This is my first time staying here, and this is by far the best Hostel experience I have ever had in my entire life. I love coming here because I get to meet starving artist and intellectuals from all across the globe. Oh the artwork is exceptional.

Will stay again and again!

I liked the area! It was very convenient with lots of great bakeries, fast food, restaurants, and bars nearby. Transportation was a breeze, walking, citibike rentals nearby, Ubers, metro, and bus. Check in was smooth, bed sheets etc. were clean and locker was a good size. I liked using the kitchen, freezer, and fridge for the snacks and food I bought. There’s also a grab and go and a mini restaurant at the hostel that is decently priced. The outdoor area is nice and there is a separate upstairs area that has more chairs and privacy. I enjoyed my stay and liked that there was all ages there, from like 22-62. The shower stalls and bathrooms are clean and private. You can choose from all gender, male or female.

The hostel had an excellent staff that were attentive and helpful. Rooms were cleanly, linens were neat, and shared spaces were well maintained with frequent restroom cleaning. Food on site was fairly priced and of good quality. Check in/out was very easy. Surrounding city area was a little dirty, to no fault of the hostel, and the property itself was very clean. Lots of food options in the area for takeout and smaller dine-in locations. Close to the subway entrance and multiple bus stops for easy public transit.

Great for budget travelers

Surprisingly wonderful! Very clean and quiet. Stayed in an 8 bed dorm. Everyone was respectful of each other. Bed was comfortable with a privacy curtain, charger and light. Lockers were available to store luggage and/or valuables. Lots of food options from low to high end in immediate vicinity. Close to subway stations and easily accessible to mid/downtown neighborhoods. I would absolutely recommend this to those traveling on a budget.
