Mohammad Shachhu, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disgusting
It was absolutely disgusting. Body fluids on the bedsheets and pillow cases, the bathrooms was so disgusting and looked like a prison. When i got new bedsheets they also had body fluid stains. I left and slept outside the theater with my friends while they waited for rush tickets.. i felt more safe outside the theater than that hostel.

Stop star quality, I could not even believe my own eyes as I was not expecting this!!! All these bad reviews are people that where drunk!! This place is creme Della creme!!! It's better then a 1000 USD dollar hotel right by the park!!!

4/10 Fair

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.

Pretty fair rates for Manhattan imo
Eric, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's a good place, for the price it's great you share a room with only one person and people that work here are chilled and leave you alone, you don't have to pay a fee for the deposit. Nice thing is that you have the bath and shower room to your self and it is not like other places where there are 3 showers in one room. It's not a luxury 7star place but it's been my favorite budget place in NYC so far
byron, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The place was disaster - and service was horrible - toilets and bathrooms were too dirty and nothing is good about that place!
Irakli, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It has been a great experience and stay in this place. The place is central and easily accessible, the workers of the place were always very friendly and courteous. The treatment by the staff has been the best, I highly recommend it.

2/10 Poor

When I arrived, they had forgone my reservation and were full. I had to find another place to stay in the middle of the night. Bad experience
Nathaniel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Offered to stay in the lobby
they over booked so we were told to sleep in the lobby or go somewhere else at 1am. The lobby already had 3 people sleeping in it and it was a tiny closet like room. No refunds for their mistakes either
anna, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The staff were nice and we were right next to the subway stop. However, it took 40 minutes to check in since when we arrived no one was at the front desk (another person had also been waiting even longer than us). The sheets were also dirty and we saw a bed bug. Definitely bring your own blanket if you get cold. They also didn't have soap in the bathroom to wash your hands and the showers were dirty.
Kyler, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not as bad as some say
People have been a little hard on this place. Yes it is pretty low-end but does have the basics. They are right to say bring your own towel and blanket though. And soap for hand/shower
Austin, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Extremely dirty place with horrendous staffing and management. Line up always at the door and people don’t have keys to go to their room. False advertisement. Need to sue this place asps for fraudulent advertising.
SIU SHO, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff was great. Just good and hardworking people. As far as the price you get more than what you pay for.

kathleen, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dirty bathrooms, there were cockroaches in the bed, the bathroom windows were broken, the chair in the room was broken and the air conditioning did not cool, you could not sleep in the heat.
ivanni, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The people who run this place are nice enough but they need to do a far better job maintaining the place. They should make sure toilet paper and soap is stocked up in every bathroom, air blowers are functioning, and that the showers are consistently cleaned.
Philip, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

8/10 Very good

The staff is helpful but the facilities are pretty bad the door lock system has only one key which is only accessible by the staff so you cant keep going and coming back to the room without being escorted by the staff member.
