This a quiet and comfortable hostel and not a party hostel; in fact it does not even seem to have a common room where people could meet. Just keep that in mind if you go there.close

Fantastic hostel. Didn't see a TV though and not sure if there is one so if not that would be good but it was a really fantastic hostel in a great location. Clean rooms and bathrooms and free internet! Brilliant.

I booked this hostel accidently. Actually I was looking for a cheaper one, but couldn't find any. But I was happy to spend 1 night there, everything was pretty cool. Can't say anything bad about that hostel. All positive!

Felt very safe (lockers were included. Very clean -- Clean sheets & bathrooms. Towels provided for free. Other patrons were friendly. Great place to stay for our age group. Close to TONS of bars + restaurants at a reasonable price. Walking distance to most areas (but cabs are super cheap anyways). Couldn't have asked for anything more. Will most definately return.close

Great staff, clean towels every day. great price for ensuite fascility, although bathrooms for shared are great too. No lift, but then if you can walk the streets of New York..you should be able to climb a few staires. Tx Bus to Port Authority from airport and cab to Hostel.is cheapest way to get there!close

Hostel Staff was excellent and very nice. Location is short walking distance from times square. Worth the price if you are a tourist, but there are better options for just a little bit more. But enjoyed my visit there very much, would stay here again.

This hostel is VERY VERY clean. The people who run the hostel are really nice. It is about a 10-15 min walk to times sqaure and all major subways stations. I didnt have much time to meet other people as I was busy enjoying the city. I am forsure going to stay here again when I visit New York.

The staff work hard to make your stay as good as possible, excellent location, not much on in the hostel but small and with character so you can find people to go around the city with. Would completely recommend it!

Clean towels every day. The staff is available and in the building all day. They were very helpful since I had to switch rooms every night due to my own booking. Rooms have a/c and heat. If you're looking to be in the times square area this is a great choice.

Everything about the hostel is great, the lady and her son who run it couldn't be more helpful and i thank them for their hospitality! Its very clean, good location etc. Only thing is that its not a very social hostel, but other than that it was great!

Clean hostel with very comfortable beds, very close to Times Square. My room also had an en-suite, which was great. It's run by a lovely Chinese couple, who will hold on to your luggage for a few hours at the end of your stay, until you have to fly home! Highly recommended!
