A terrible hostel in every respect, I definitely not recommend you to stay. The design of the rooms is awful, it is possible to hear the voices of those staying in the entire room, like a prison. It is a candidate for being the worst hostel in New York and even in the world.
Some of the front desk were not polite. No hair dryers available in the bathroom, you need to ask the front desk (with an ID) even when she had my room number. No ceiling in the rooms. This is unbelievable. I could hear everyone voice and noises. Some guests were aware of that and tried to keep that as quiet as possible. You cannot rely on guests for a quiet room. I could hear the entire night my 'neighbor' snoring. People in and out during the whole night.

Enraged !
THEY TURNED THE HEAT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! I went to bed decently warm and woke up freezing with a damn cold/flu. The blankets they give aren’t blankets they’re thin sheets. There’s no roof and thin walls so whatever is happening in the next room YOU CAN HEAR. Noisy noisy alarms ringing at 6 sum in the morning. Yes it’s a cheap stay but not worth your health or sleep! Only go here if you’re very very desperate. I’m so sick and angry Dirty towels being re used to the next guest because they only wash their towels and blankets every TWO days. I stayed one night and gtfo of there omg never again
Was decent for location and overall comfort. Would of made a massive difference if the walls of the rooms went all the way to the ceiling so it’s not like being in a dorm

Could be slightly biased review as my room was next to the subway line and I am a light sleeper so didn't get much sleep. Also the walls in the rooms did not go to the ceiling which meant that noise from other rooms could be heard clearly.

Oda tek kişilikti ama üstü açık olduğu için dışardaki horlama sesinden uyuyamadım.Ayrıca akşamları etrafı tehlikeli.Olumlu yanı metroya çok yakın

The hostel was in a great location to catch the subway, very easy to get in and out of Manhattan. The hostel it’s self was fine. I booked a private room but when I arrived I noticed there was no roof (other hostel websites I looked at specified this on their website so you knew what you were getting). When I arrived I noticed my towel was dirty and had marks all over it. The bathroom showers/toilets were only frosted glass so you could see the people next to you while in the bathroom which wasn’t fun. There were no hand dryers or towels to dry your hands either. If you are a light sleeper don’t stay here because you can hear literally every noise from every person on the whole floor since none of the rooms have a roof. Over all it was fine but I wouldn’t stay there again. There are cheaper and better hostels in Manhattan. I also emailed Expedia to ask questions and haven’t heard anything from them in over 2 weeks which is disappointing since I’ve normally had great experiences with them
Hostel is noisy (tains are close), but generally is nice.

They don't care about thier customers
They were completely unaccommodating. I thought an inexpensive room would require a small security deposit. They demanded more then the Hyatt, more then the Candlewood, more then the entire cost of the stay and more than the cost of damage someone could cause sans walking out the door with the bed since that was the only thing in the room. They refused to accept the money I had since it wasn't the fee they demanded. I had no where to go after ten at night so I missed my class, had my night ruined. Not to mention how hard it was to talk to them with the trains going by so loud no one could talk till after they passed. I don't know if I would've gotten any sleep there
Arial Metro station next to the the building, lots of noise and trembling when the train passes due to extremely bad building isolation. No roof in each room so we hear everything on the floor at 3am, including screams, couples and snoring. Only two showers for a floor with more than 30 rooms and one of the two doesn't even work. The receptionist also needs to speak louder if we want to have more info during check-in. Overall terrible experience. Would defenitively not recommend as a hostel for NYC.
I just needed to get some rest between work shifts and although you can hear some people here and there because their is no ceiling to each room/cubicle the beds are clean and comfy the bathrooms are also clean. I would do it again.
I loved how clean the restrooms were , the rooms amd the kitchen I only think they could improve the way how those crazy cards that opened the door always got unavailable to use if you put them close to your phone 📲 and many times I had to go to the receptionist to make it available to use again
