the bar is amazing, the staff is friendly and accomodating, the place is sparkling clean. i will come back again, you cannot find a better deal.

The staff is excellent, the whole team rocks.

Favourite things — the rooftop terrace area, the in-house café, common area, clean room, and cool staff.

Good

Good service and kind people Cleaning and good service

Hotel is kinda run down. Our AC was blasting the whole night and the room was freezing. I couldn't wake the 3 other strangers in my room. The bunk beds were not super comfy

Good location, nice stuff Windows were leaking in the rain and many of my stuff got wet. Towels not clean. Bed is not comfortable, too soft and move around a lot when the other people tossing underneath or above…

This was a great place to stay, especially for the price. It was conveniently located near Manhattan, making it easy to get around and explore the city. I stayed in a four-bedroom dorm, and I appreciated that the shower and bathroom were separate from the sleeping area, so I could shower without disturbing anyone. The shower had plenty of hot water, which was a nice bonus. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. There was also a comfortable common area in the lobby where guests could relax, enjoy a drink, or just hang out. The kitchen was another great feature, with a refrigerator available for storing food and drinks. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay. The combination of the convenient location, clean facilities, friendly staff, and thoughtful amenities made it an excellent value. I would definitely stay here again.

Staff Price and the fact NY residents can't stay there

Very well located hostel, easy to reach from JFK or LaGuardia Airport. Also, easy to get to downtown

I liked how everyone kept to themselves and the room I was in was clean, hot water in the shower, towels provided, the staff were helpful, free welcoming drinks, and the rooftop scene was nice to cool down after a long day Nothing

Their lobby and rooftop with view of the skyline and bridge are nice, staffs are very helpful and rooms and common area are very clean. There are not many restaurants and cafe super close or perhaps I missed finding (there are multiple food trucks) but that is not needed as you can bring food from Manhattan and Jackson Heights (train at 6 min walk from the hostel), store in the fridge and heat up. Some people smoked on the rooftop 1 evening during the music event is when I had to leave the rooftop because I can't stand smoke. Otherwise everything was nice and I hope to book again.
