Though hostels are not know for their opulent luxury, this one is definitely on the low end of "poor". As I write this review, I acknowledge that my efforts may be in vain, as the day before I departed, the hostel announced it was being evacuated due to "conditions that were perilous to life". So I have no idea how... More

My room was one with 8 beds. The mattress was about a thick as a sheet of paper. Speaking of sheets it was twice the size of the mattress & would not stay on the mattress. My blanket was covered with holes & cigarette burns. . . One blanket per person. The room was freezing. The cleaning staff went thur... More

Guys and girls, if you are thinking of saving some money because this hostel looks cheap than I can assure it is cheap. The service is cheap as one can imagine, bedrooms are unliveable (even the private rooms stink). My belongings were stolen and I was cursed at by the reception. I can go on and on. Learn from my...

The front desk hostel staff are friendly but the atmosphere is ruined by the very rude housekeeping staff. They threw out anything they found on the floor regardless of whether it was rubbish or not. I spotted her several times throwing out people's belongings and possessions. When confronted all they do is shrug and say they were sorry it looked... More

First of all, you get what you pay for. Probably the only positive thing about this hostel is its room rate. When I arrived in my room, the bed was not even made. The bed sheets look really filthy. The bathrooms are so small and several times I had to wait for my turn because it's almost always occupied. There's... More

The only good thing about this hostel is the price and it`s location is OK. But for the same money you could easily find somewhere WAY better to stay. The beds were incredibly uncomfortable, there was a random cat roaming the hostel which came in to the room and slept on someones pillow. The bathrooms were tiny, dirty and half... More

They lost our online booking. We arrived at midnight only to be told they had no record of us coming. Luckily I had an e-mail printout, so they agreed to put us up one night - however there were 4 of us and we were placed in a 3 person room but had to pay for all 4 people still.... More

We spent 9 nights in this hostel, which only great quality is that it's affordable in NYC. We were on the 5th floor WITHOUT elevator (really convienient with a 30 pounds trolley), and we had to share the shower with at least 20 people... Useless to say whenever the shower is taken, the water is cold! Finally, not glasses or... More

I stayed at this hostel a total of 3 times in the last years, whenever all other hostels were booked out. I can report with reliability over the time period what is wrong with this place, because it is so consistently wrong. 1) There are cockroaches on ALL floors (there are 5 floors) of this hostel. The staff has never... More
