77%Little Dog Hostel

Little bit old infrastructure. Doors need replacement they let all light of the other room come through. Beds are squeaky.

I loved sleeping underground as it meant streetlights didn't affect my sleep. That's always an issue for me when I sleep in city locations. Thanks for being so accommodating! However, I would have preferred more privacy in the downstairs shower. Other than that, I would definitely return to...

Had a great time. The only thing that I did not like was that some of the rooms were in the basement. It was not a major issue. All in all it's a great place and I would recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic location - steps from Times Square. It is a little tight on space but nothing to worry about - beds are REALLY comfortable & are made everyday for you :-) Definitely recommended

The way he spoke to the cleaning lady was appalling. The blurb said that there was free internet, not true. Free phone calls, not that I was aware of. There was nowhere to store any valuables and there was extremely limited privacy, out of the three bathrooms only one had a lock. NOT worth $65 a night.close

This place was a blast! It's really clean and right off time square. But be aware when you are booking there are a few locations so pay attention to which one your booking at!

This was not a typical hostel, it was more of an apartment with multiple beds. Our bunk beds were practically in the kitchen. There are only two toilets and two showers for the multiple people staying there at the time. The location was great, it provided a good opportunity to meet people but...

Little Dog Hostel had notified HostelWorld about cancelling my booking due to a misunderstanding on the listing. However, HostelWorld had 2 weeks to notify me about making alternative plans but they did not. Suffice to say I was very disappointed and panicked as it was midnight and I had no idea where else I could go. Fortunately, the Staff at LDH were very helpful and personally escorted me to the Times Square Hostel which was a block away. For that I am thankful.close

it's not a hostel, but somebody's basement!!! The guy is a cheat and offers rooms, which he hasn't got. When the guests arrive, he informs people that he has no room for them. It's too late to find anything else and they have to stay in that awful place. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Good if all you need is a matress to sleep on in Midtown Manhattan. If you expect an actual hostel, you may be disappointed - it's basically a small common room and a basemant with a few bunk beds in it. Feels more like a private guest house than a hostel.
