This hostel is a great option for while you are traveling NYC, for many of its facilities, but here are a few things to consider after my experience. Although check in time is stated as 3pm, upon arriving at around 4pm I was unable to check in due to no rooms being available at that time and the front desk being unable to get in contact with housekeeping. I waited an hour for a room to be ready and available for me to check in, after a long travel day and where I was only offered to have my luggage stored for the mean time. Booking through the Expedia app, the property details state Breakfast is served daily - this is not true, no breakfast is available, this misinformation NEEDS to be updated. There is a cafe with food available for purchase. If this is something you take into consideration while booking, it is important to know, as I did not until I asked when checking in at the property. Note also the location is slightly further away from many popular tourist destination spots, but there is a subway station close by which was easy to navigate.

I was in NYC solo for a few days and wanted to keep costs down. I'm in my mid-50s and the place was perfect for me. it was clean and comfortable and everyone was very friendly. It was a great stay for a very reasonable price.

I hadn’t stayed at a hostel before this one, and I was skeptical of any lodging outside of Hotels, Air BnB, and family/friends. I saw this spot had great reviews and the price was perfect for me just moving to NYC with no apartment yet. Once I got there, I realized how spoiled I was & how much I could’ve saved if I had started staying at hostels sooner! The spaces is filled with so many different people from all over the world! Families, individuals & groups were all present. Seeing families made me feel extra safe. The staff was very kind, and since I speak Spanish too, I had to have a couple conversations with staff members before I left. Everyone I spoke with was very friendly, detailed with their jobs, and made my experience even better. They have BIG lockers for luggage storage before & after check-in, a kitchen, yoga room, café, patio, laundry, TV room, and so many other activities and amenities. It’s a great decision for solo travelers or groups! I’ll definitely be back!
