Loved the lounge and bar area, live jazz group. I slept well every night. I didn't get to checkout the rooftop party but I heard some great music being played. I'd definitely stay again. ##### Roderick Morez Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Souvik Nov 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. They have a good bar to spend time. Your first coffee/beer is complimentary. Finding a parking spot nearby is a challenge as they don't have their own parking. But the staff helped me find a spot nearby. The location is mostly industrial and not residential. So expect some scraps and broken cars on the road sides. The 23st subway is a 5 min walk from the hosyel. The hostel has a good lobby area where you can work on your laptop of three need be. The bathrooms were clean. There was in room toilet and bathroom as well in the dormitories. The toilet size is a bit too small though. They cleaning staff does a wonderful job to keep rooms and bathrooms clean all the time. Please note that they don't have elevators, so it may be a concern for people with disabilities. ##### Souvik Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Torrey Aug 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Great! ##### Torrey Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rahul Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The hostel is good for a short stay and connects with NYC easily.
