They were fantastic! The building has lots of security, very safe, it's also one block away from a subway station and a very small walk to central park! I'll definitely visit again!

10/10

My first time in a hostel and I loved it! The rooms were clean, there were a lot of common areas to hang out, and the sense of community was really heartwarming, particularly the emphasis on welcoming international travellers! Convenient locations super close to the subway and Central Park. My one complaint would be the one functioning elevator is very slow, but I just took the stairs. Overall would definitely stay here again!

6/10

The place is great, but they have to remind the other guests this is a shared bedroom so they need to respect quiet hours, there was people getting in and out the dormitory all night long walking fast and moving things noisily with no consideration at all. Beside noisy neighbors all great with the place.
