It has two free computers for all your internet needs and a great tourist location two blocks away from Times Square. However Manhattan is so easy to get around it is not necessary to live right in the middle of the tourism, if you are more of the cultured traveler looking for more than flashy billboards, mass consumerism and posh neighborhoods I would suggest looking down in Soho or Greenwich Village. Still close to all the destinations.close

Friendly and helpful manager Peter. Only one shower with one toilet in the bathroom for everyone in the hostel. Perhaps a shower blackboard to book your shower time would have solved the wait times. Above all good value for money & great location.

The hostel is like an apartment. With one more bathroom it would have been much better.

About location? What do I have to say. It's so close to the Food Avenue--9th avenue where there is so many exotic and local gourmet and of course time square, port authority (The bus station) and all the subways so you can get to anywhere you want in nyc from there.it's a cozy place.close

Smaller rooms with 2-4 beds good, wouldnt want to have had to stay in rooms with 6 beds looked very cramped. Staff friendly and helpful. Great location and very secure. Reasonably clean, and free internet a bonus.

A very small hostel and very cramped - needed more space for the price i paid. Location is excellent though and being in the heart of Times Square certainly makes up for everything.

The owner, Paul, who is also from China is so nice that he helped me to get on the bus to airport, let me sleep in a cozy double-bed and talked to me a lot. The mattress is so comfortable.

I would recommend this hostel to others because Peter called to make sure we were alright when we were late coming in, the place is small and cozy, it's a ten minute walk to Times Square, Peter was honest and friendly and the other travelers there were lots of fun :)

So it's very noisy in the day with some truckers feeling the need to blow their horns at night. Other than that the location is fantastic and Peter & Paul are great hosts. Also the free internet and cable TV leaves for something to do for the hour or so per day that you decide not to roam the streets of NYC.close
