This place is a huge scam. Never had a worst experience. We booked two nights because the pictures look decent and it was affordable for New York. When we were ready to check in at 3pm the room was not ready so we had to wait 1 hr. We were finally informed the room was ready and when we got the the room it was not clean with trash everywhere and dirty linen. We informed the receptionist we wanted a refund he said he understood. But we would have to call third party because he would not do it. After contacting third party they needed permission from the hostel to confirm refund but they never did so we were charged regardless. Let it be known when you try to contact the hostel no one will answer the phone and their email does not exist. This place is terrible. They don’t even have locks for the doors so if you have anything valuable good luck. You would be better off sleeping on the street then staying here you will also save your money.

The hostel is very good for the price. The value for money is exceptional. Some things that MUST be improved are the cleanliness of the lobby and the wifi coverage. I agree with other comments, the location of the hostel is the best thing. By the way, ask the hostel team days before you arrive if they have your room available or not, because they may have already overbooked. Keep on traveling!

*SCAM* If you read other reviews, you will find the hotel quite often does not have the accommodations that were prepaid for, and it does not come through with a refund. It’s bad news to show up at a hotel in NYC late at night to find the accommodations you prepaid for, are not available. I booked my room two months in advance and paid for my room a month in advance. I messaged the hotel three times to let them know I would arrive late at night. When I arrived, they had sold the bed I had already paid them for, and they had no bed for me. I slept on a couch in the common area. I have not been able to get a refund for the paid-for night when they were unable to accommodate me. The staff, especially Sam, was delightful. This could be a decent hotel if it were not running a SCAM! If I ever get my refund, I will update my review to reflect that. As the other reviews have mentioned, the pictures in no way reflect the actual accommodations.

The value of the hostel was well-worth the price, and the location was great for all access to the city and Central Park, especially for my first time travelling solo in New York City. However, the place needs a lot of maintenance when it comes to cleanliness in each room, and just a friendly reminder to keep an eye on your luggage because there can be a few coakroaches lurking around. The bathrooms were shared, and they were dirty most of the time of my stay. The service was acceptable and took their customers to consideration, but if you request for stuff (such as towels, blankets, soaps, etc.), it would cost you extra, and it's an inconvenience for travellers who came from anywhere in the world. Overall, it's alright for those who travel alone and only need basic necessities, but I wouldn't recommend booking there again personally. So, if you want peace and quiet without getting disturbed by another visitor in the middle of the night while you're asleep AND a tidy clean room with a private bathroom, I'd suggest paying for more in a Holiday Inn or a Wyndham.

If you can stand cockroaches everywhere in your room, smelly bed, cold showers, and basically old and dirty everything, this is the place for you because it’s cheap and the location is good. If you can’t, DO NOT live here. My trip would be so much better if I did not live in this hostel. I basically felt bad every night because of the thought of going back to this place. Staff was pretty friendly so I can’t really imagine why they are okay with this hostel ruining people’s experiences.
