A lovely, clean hostel with fantastic views from the roof terrace. The hostel has a lovely feel, as it is a doesn't have lots of rooms,and has free use of the internet and a clean,large kitchen area. It is close to the subway and has lots of cafes, eateries and bars in the area. Would highly...

a great hostel experience. located right in the center of lovely williamsburg, brooklyn. feels like you're sharing a cool apt with ur mates.. the only thing i missed was a TV for days of hangover. maybe it can be a bit pricy for backpackers but worth it if u can afford it

The only surprise was something that couldn't be helped. It's convenient: only 3 blocks from a subway stop, but it's 4 full flights of stairs up out of the subway, 3 blocks to walk to Zip112, and 5 full flights of stairs to the hostel.

Thankfully, when we got there, it was lovely, clean, and organized. We met a diverse group of folks from around the world; our host was genial and helpful; breakfast cereal was provided every day; and the rooms were comfortable and nice. Highly recommended.close

Great hostel, friendly and helpful owner, great view, very clean. It is a bit noisy though, but that is mostly due to noisy fellow hostellers. If you are not planning on sleeping in every day (you won't), than this is the place to be!

really nice place to stay and right on the subway L train into Manhattan. first ave. is only one stop away! clean, beautiful deck overlooking the city and sunrise, very safe and in a fun part of Brooklyn. totally worth it.

Great hostel- intimate and comfortable in great Brooklyn location. Still quick and easy to get to Manhattan. Kicks butt in comparison to any H.I. in the U.S!

great little place, the owner really cares for his guests and makes sure all are comfortable. Very clean too!And in a hip part of town just a few subway stops from Manhattan. The stairs are a bit of a nuisance, but the owner happily helps with luggage. I woudl definately stay there again.

My only complaint of the place is that a witnessed them turning down a guy who'd made reservations not realizing that the hostel is women only. Fortunately there was a co-ed hostel nearby. My complaint is that they still charged him two nights. I don't think this was very professional or fair on their part. Beware: WOMEN only.close

You are far away from home but you feel home in the city that never sleeps! It's not to compare to any other hostels that I have stayed in the last 2 weeks in New-York City. I want to tank the staff. They were very friendly and kind. Absolutely recommended to everybody.close

It's a great hostel with a home-like atmosphere. The balcony is absolutly fantastic! Staff was very friendly. You just have to carry your luggage up to the fifth floor, so don't take too heavy bags with you ;-)

to avoid any misunderstanding: Yes, the location is a bit "poorly soundproofed" -but hey, it's a hostel and earplugs will guarantee you a good sleep! I highly recommend this hostel and would stay there again.

Great hostel, definitely to recommend. In a great, more quiet, but very relaxing area with a lot of cafes, restaurants and bar. Manhattan close enough by subway, and you get one more impression of another area in new york. great.

A hit was definitely in the inexpensive price, and with its surrounding shops, restaurants, etc. I enjoyed my stay. I recommend the Sea Restaurant right next to it- awesome Thai food and pretty interior. It was my first time in Williamsburg, and Bedford Ave. was a very posh area. I was reluctant to stay in Brooklyn, but the feeling of Williamsburg turned out to be very similar to Soho and unique. The only negative would be the 5 floor walk-up setup, but the staff carried my bags so it wasn't a problem.close
