First i'm a former NY resident so my comfort level in the city may differ from yours. That said, this is a repurposed apartment building into individual hostel-like units great for single travelers, relatively quiet and walkable to the metro and theater area.
The Bad: The check-in, for crying out loud. I waited an hour with two other fellow travellers for someone to appear to check us in. From reviews, this seems to be common. The maddening thing is given the codes used to enter the hostel and your room, this is an easy fix.
To the Lamartine: Fix it stat. All you have to do is send the code to the room to the guest and tell them the front door code is their phone number. Instead each night I found stranded travelers scratching their head on how to check in.

Relatively inexpensive compared to a hotel…. But dang did it feel grungy. And noisy.
This property is close to Penn Station, which was important for my trip. There are several restaurants and convenience stores in the area. The rooms are plain but functional. I appreciated being able to turn the air conditioning on and off as needed. Overall I was very pleased with my stay and would definitely consider returning.
I was really nervous about what the state of the bathrooms would be like but I was pleasantly surprised that the amenities were actually pretty clean. On the last day of my stay the bathroom was covered in water and really dirty however so I think it’s the luck of the draw with whoever else is staying in the hostel.
The hostel is pretty safe. You need a 4 digit code to get into the building then a four digit code for your room as well. The area is relatively safe, it is still NY though.
It’s about a 7-10 minute walk to get to a strip of cafes and restaurants which is nice.
Overall this was a really good stay. Reasonably priced and relatively safe.
