- Prakash (8/5): - Good hostel and location
Cooperative staff
- Valerián (9/5): -
- Ryan (9/5): - Excellent location within the city, very clean, staff was super nice, and breakfast was good quality Sound traveled very well among the rooms, so light sleepers or those who take a lot of calls should be wary
- Elena (10/5): 100% recomendado - Me gustó mucho el ambiente, la atención y la limpieza. Lo recomiendo al 100% No hay ascensor
- Furkan (8/5): - Die Lage war perfekt und es war echt leise wie versprochen. Die Duschen waren leider nicht immer sauber.

- payam (7/5): -
- Varun (5/5): - Breakfast was good, staff was excellent. Its too noisy, and even though earplugs were provided and inspite of having quiet hours, there was constant noise present.
- Michal (8/5): - Great location, close to metro stations, snack bars and grocery stores. The hostel was quiet and tidy, breakfast included (a big plus), the staff is very nice and helpful. The best choice for individuals for a night out. nothing
- Francesco (6/5): Soggiorno piacevole, usavo l’hostel solo per dormire e per lavarmi il resto del soggiorno l’ho passato fuori in giro per - La posizione è ottima, con più stazioni e fermate vicine.
Per il prezzo che paghi la stanza è quella che è, se stanza si può chiamare.
Staff disponibile pronto ad accogliere ogni richiesta È vero che il prezzo per gli standard dì New York è basso, ma la stanza è davvero invivibile, è solo il letto e basta, ma comunque a quel prezzo è giusto così.
- Felipe Barón (10/5): -
- Francisco (6/5): - La ubicación No tiene espacio comunes para compartir o simplemente para tomar desayuno
- Ahamed (1/5): -
- Giovanni (7/5): -
- Nadia (6/5): Cheap cheerful not the cleanest or comfiest - Breakfast and the concept. Walls too thin barely slept and also bathroom not nice
- Matt (7/5): Great location, very basic accommodations: if you're good with that, it's an incredible bargain. - This place is what it is. Fourth floor walk-up, pretty basic accommodations, VERY basic even. But the staff are really working hard to make it all work. Bathroom is crowded and one should expect a wait for the shower, etc. My first night was right across from the bathroom, terribly noisy all night long, doors opening and slamming shut etc. On Duty person ended up intervening and tossing someone out who was being REALLY loud, a bit uncomfortable. I got moved to a quiet wing upstairs on the fifth floor, which was much better. Bring a sleeping pill, use the earplugs and maybe even an eye mask and as long as you can deal with a SMALL bed, you'll be okay !! It's all for a good cause, the breakfast layout is fine, good coffee, water coolers, etc. Staff are really kind and hard-working. well ... the bed is really tight, one can barely turn around in the room itself. There's room to stash a suitcase - midsize - under the bed. The lattice-work ceiling takes some getting used to. Obviously cheaply built. But it's for a good cause and the staff try to make it all work and are friendly and charming.
- Charlotte (9/5): Très bien situé et pas très cher, le fait de pouvoir fermer les capsules est un plus. - Le petit déjeuner était très complet et le personnel était aux petits soins pour ses clients. Durant mon séjour je me suis foulée la cheville, j’ai demandé si ils avaient un pack de glace et on m’en a apporté un alors qu’il était 22/23h. Je trouve que les douches et les sanitaires ne sont pas très pratiques et hygiénique mais je pense que ce n’est pas principalement la faute de l’établissement, c’est surtout celui des clients qui ne nettoie pas après leurs passages.
- Jorge (9/5): - Good options for breakfast
- Peter (10/5): -
- Donna (9/5): - Surprisingly amazing breakfast with coffee, fruit, delicious pastries and more!
- Gul (9/5): -
- Quintero (5/5): - La atención del personal de la oficina.
La ubicación muy buena La limpieza durante la estadía no revisaron el cuarto, los baños algo sucios.
Demasiadas escaleras

- Angelo (8/5): -
- Micaela (7/5): No funcionaba la canilla de la ducha y me bañé con agua helada un día que hizo -8 grados - Cama cómoda Tenía 2 duchas el baño de mujeres y una de ellas no funcionaba la canilla y solo salía agua fría . Me bañé con agua congelada haciendo -8 grados ese día
- PacificCoastGirl (10/5): -
- Erica (7/5): -
- Pavel (1/5): Do not stay there! No rooms, just hostel cubicles. Mold in toilets! Absolutely no privacy! - Beware of scam! These “budget single rooms” are not rooms as you expect. It is cubicle without ceiling so you hear everything from other cubicles! Faking hostel to “3 m2 hotel rooms”. Worst experience ever! Hostel big room turned into cubicle style “cells”! At 7am they turn on the light and you have to wake up. It is a scam claiming these are rooms! No it is hostel with cubicles without ceiling. You can hear every alarm clock, every fart, every breath you did not take! Btw have you ever stay queue for bathroom in “hotel”? Here you gonna experience it!
- jerome (9/5): -
- Abhishek (1/5): Don’t book if you want a little decent place to stay - Only staff was good rest everything was so unclean and unsanitary.
Food was worst.
- Amir (1/5): - It was very noisy and uncomfortable
- Carlota (8/5): Cumplió todas mis expectativas - Excelente ubicación en el centro de Manhattan. El desayuno muy bueno y ofrecen te y agua así como bagels todo el día. La habitación es muy pequeña y sin techo, a pesar de eso me sobró espacio para colocar mis cosas y la cama era cómoda. Solo había dos duchas y dos baños pero nunca tuve que esperar cola Las duchas son un poco pequeñas. Al no tener techo se escucha todo
- Gabriel (8/5): -
- maria (10/5): Great experience for its price - Location, staff, breakfast, price -
- Rafaela (8/5): Perfect for solo travelers, it has the essentials and is well located! - Simple accommodation, but it has the essentials and offers privacy. Excellent location! Coffee, tea, and some snacks always available and it includes breakfast with homemade pastries and seasonal fruit (along with more basic options like bagels, cereals, etc.). Its not that I didn’t like it, but it might be an important point for some people: you need to climb about 4 flights of stairs, and it’s a lot of stairs.
- Dupuiys (8/5): -
- Adam (10/5): super - all ok nothing
- Marcie (2/5): Rather sleep on the subway with the homeless - Bed and rooms are horrible with open ceiling- miserable!
- Rosemary (8/5): -
- Erica -Claude (5/5): passable - sympa impossible de parler au delà de 21h
- Naseer (5/5): -
- Louis (6/5): -
- Rosalyn (8/5): - The breakfast is excellent and plentiful. The fresh fruit, breads, cereals, choice of teas, juice and hot coffee was very good and much appreciated. The staff are friendly and they take the snoring and general quietness seriously and I didn't find it a problem to sleep, but you do need earplugs as you can hear every noise from the cabins around you. The bathroom is a bit small but I understand it's New York and space is limited. It would be nice if the other guests were a little more friendly and engaged a bit -- but that's not your fault. Everyone is just on their phone nowadays and don't seem to want to meet or chat with others in hostels.
- Ava (9/5): Tres bien - Tres bon rapport qualite prix, personnel tres gentil, bon emplacement. Il faut penser a prendre des claquettes pour la douche
- Min (8/5): 总体来说很不错的体验。我当晚睡得很好。员工特别友好,让人感到安心。 - 因为有了充足的心理准备,所以看到胶囊式的房间时不觉得意外,反而觉得小而精的设置很巧妙。酒店的common room氛围充满印度文化色彩,早餐不豪华但食品种类齐全,冰箱分隔考虑到素食者和非素食者的不同需求。 洗浴间的卫生可以再提升一下。马桶区间实在太小,东亚女性小个子身材都很难坐下,难以想象其他魁梧的人怎么解决。
- Skyler (8/5): -
- mario (9/5): - La ubicación y el trato recibido Los baños, aunque limpios, merecen reforma
- Prasanth (7/5): Good stay for location and price - Good breakfast with multiple options to choose from, bananas could’ve been more ripe though. Excellent location, few blocks away from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. There were few homeless people outside on the road but property is well secured with fob access. Staff are very helpful and try their best to make the stay comfortable to everyone. On multiple occasions they gave nasal strips to people who snored and warned others who made loud noise during night. The room is very compact, there isn’t enough room to even open the bags. Quiet hours are a bit inconvenient if you arrive late as even the slightest of noise is loudly audible. Need to be very careful while packing or unpacking from bags. No hooks in the bathroom to hang anything.
- Marco (5/5): It means the basic you ''might'' need... - The location is perfect to go everywhere from there.
Except the first guy I met in reception, all the others are nice and professional.
The breakfast was amazing with lots of options. I arrived and told the person in the reception which is in the 3rd or 4th floor that I had been texting him and he (or the person I was texting) never answered my messages. He just said ''ok, and what do you want to know?'' A bit arrogant to receive a guest. Bad start for my first time in NYC... anyway. I didn't get his name and I didn't know who he was.
My room didn't have ceiling, the walls were very thin that I could hear the others, the person next to me was doing so much noise and watching videos at 1:30 am and I could see the brightness of his light on which made me assume his room didn't have ceiling either. I couldn't rest the first night because of him.
This place is ok and could meet your expectations if you are looking for something cheap, and going to out all day, if you want something more comfortable, no.
- Patrick (9/5): -
- Brigid (9/5): This was such a unique and pleasant experience, and I felt more at home than in a hotel somehow. - The staff and culture was amazing! So courteous and I felt cared for. As soon as I booked, someone reached out instantly about the 10% discount if paying in cash. I was a little worried about the room size and lack of ceilings and making too much noise, but it was cozy and worked! Nothing that wasn't regular hostel situation stuff - shared bathroom, living with so many people - but the private rooms made it a great experience! I only got one towel and didn't want to ask for another, but nbd.
- Ivy (1/5): - Nothing it's not like what they offer on their website Nothing the stairs were awful to climb so I left
- Frances (10/5): The BEST! Magical, fun, relaxing, spiritual, exciting and memorable. - Everything was perfect! I would totally rebook again. I have wanted to visit NYC for 6 years and NYSH made that accessible to me.
Also the fact I could drop by during the day to get a tea/hot drink/refresh was so appreciate.
Thank you 🙏 One client was a bit rowdy on my last night however the team dealt with it very well.
- Monica (5/5): There's no place like home! - Location in the city for myself. Staff was friendly and helpful. Have a elevator in the building and beds that weren't so high off the ground for short persons like me. Also better rules about the tenets having their bright light switch wall lights on passed 10 or eleven pm. I had a neighbor who left it on until 3am😡
- jj (10/5): - 布局非常丰富,位置非常方便
- Alexander (5/5): -
- Garrec (8/5): - Personnel très sympathique, aidant, toujours disponible !
Petit-déjeuner disponible tous les matins avec des fruits frais, du lait végétal, des bagels,... !
Chambre petite mais très bien organisée et facile d'accès
Très bon emplacement !
Le personnel vous aide avec votre valise pour monter ou descendre les innombrables marches, c'est très gentil ! Il est écrit que les personnes qui ronflent ne sont pas admises dans l'établissement, hors plusieurs personnes durant mon séjour ronflaient durant la nuit ! Un peu fatiguant quand on réserve un lieu censé être calme...
Douches et toilettes communs la plupart du temps propres ! Très bien ! Mais un peu vieillot à certains endroits et pas très pratique, un peu petit, surtout les douches (la partie hors du bac). Certaines personnes ne respectent pas trop ces lieux et laissaient des traces dans les toilettes, les cheveux dans la douche,...
La partie douches/toilettes pourraient être grandement améliorée et ce serait parfait !
- BERNADETTE (8/5): It was good value for 1 night - It's in Midtown near to train station of Moynihan The stairs no elevator
- Scott (9/5): An excellent value that met my needs and supported a wonderful three day visit to the city! - Highly convenient location for my needs, with easy access to the subway. Friendly, helpful staff. Quality food and drink around the clock. Small but comfortable room (pod). Good value considering the exorbitant prices for rooms in other hotels in the same vicinity. One morning, my room got a bit warm, but other than that, I was satisfied with everything about the place and my stay there.
- BODDETI (6/5): -
- Komkrit (1/5): If pay under 100, it’s ok. If pay over 100, I’ll go back. - Location is good, cleanliness is ok, Staffs are nice. Staffs made noise after 10 for hours, I couldn’t sleep all night, the hotel guest forgot the main door keys, so he knocked 4 times the door loudly. Woke me up, I couldn’t sleep and panic. Terrible.
They have many rules to not do. But noisy happened to me, make my night not good, couldn’t sleep. They didn’t do anything.
But I appreciate for this hostel for the cheap price. But I paid high price!!!
- Yanovsky (10/5): חוויה ברמה מיסטית ממש. המקום מנוהל על פי עקרונות בודהיסטיים של התחשבות בזולת - האירוח היה לבבי ענייני אוכל בשפע לאורך כל היום. ארוחת בקר מפוארת המקום נקי ומצוחצח הצוות מסביר פנים רוצה לעזור הייתה לי הרגשה שאני במלון חמישה כוכבים אהבתי הכל
- Kerrin (8/5): -
- PAMELA (8/5): cumplió con lo que necesitaba, lugar cercano al metro y en general a todo el centro de Manhattan - el desayuno maravilloso, muy abundante, la ubicación es excelente, el baño siempre estuvo limpio. que no hay ascensor
- Vito (3/5): Je voyage pas mal dans les hostels depuis 2 mois et je conseille pas cette Hostel - La localisation Le manque de sourire des gens des hôtes et des équipes qui travaille dans l’établissement,à part Maria très gentille..
Ils oublie que ils travaille dans un HOSTEL et un Hostel est l’ACCEUIL DU VOYAGEUR , L’AMABILITÉ ET POUR LE VOYAGEUR TROUVER UNE MAISON À L’AUTRE BOUT DU MONDE NORMALEMENT..le matin ils passez devant moi sens dire BONJOUR au moins , Fallais leur donner la perche pour avoir un bonjour ..sens parler du jour de Noël même pas un JOYEUX NOËL ..vous travaillez pas dans une prison MR/MAD.
Petit déjeuner sympa , mais je dirais pas continental avez rien de salée..
Pas de place pour prendre un petit déjeuner assis convenablement, uniquement deux assis à côté du buffet et un petit salon que à 3 occuper toute la place ..
Je pas aimer que le 3eme jour un réceptionniste ouvre la porte de ma chambre pendant que je dormais pour me dire que mes ronflements dérager les gens et Fallais mettre un scratch pour les ronflements (chose que j’avais esseyer précédemment mais c’étais impossible de dormir avec ) ,un Hostel n’est pas un hôtel et de conséquence on sait que on peut avoir ce type de situation et c’est normale , à savoir que mes ronflements étais dû au manque de sommeil depuis 2 jours entre les voisins qui préparer leur sac à 2h de la nuit et les lumières laisser allumées pendant la nuit ,comme dormir en plein jour ..ils aurais plutôt dû faire des séparations plus isolé et non deux planche vite fait ,aurais moins des souci ..et surtout quand on leur demande des explications on te dit C’EST NORMALE RENTRE DANS TA PETIT CHAMBRE TRANQUILLEMENT ET TE REVEILLE ..imaginez vous si je dormais nu ou une fille etais tranquille nu dans ca chambre ..INADMISSIBLE ..
2 toilette et 2 douche et 2 lavabos ,pour une chambrée de au moins 25 personnes ..matériel pas moderne et très petit en espace ..je conseille pas cette endroit
- Shadman (1/5): Extremely rude, judgemental and culty! - Literally nothing The manager or head something was extremely rude. One of his staff had forgot to take note of my late checkout even after confirming with me, but the manager behaved rudely without knowing anything. Moreover, they have literally hundreds of religious pictures, texts and stuff hanging and lying all around including inside the barely 28 sqft "room". It's like a cult there.
- Alessandro (9/5): -
- WeiJen (10/5): - Thanks! No
- Friedhelm (7/5): -
- Kaori (6/5): -
- Douglas (3/5): No lo recomiendo - En algo la ubicación aunque a la entrada siempre muchos indigentes Las instalaciones muy viejas y mal mantenidas , el personal de noche muy inconsciente , le dan patadas a las puertas a los huespedes que roncan y me despertaba con sobresalto , el baño necesita ser mejorado y queda en un piso 4 sin ascensor , el perfil dice que te ayudan con el equipaje pero no fue el caso …
- Ali (9/5): Overall it was good - It’s location is really good around a mile away from Penn station and easily accessible for anyone. The restroom are usually not cleaned during nights along with shower sections doesn’t have proper hooks to hang your clothes.
- ASSEL (7/5): -
- Fanny_ (8/5): -

- MALCOM (8/5): Excelente localização - Localização perfeita Algumas pessoas da equipe foram muito atenciosas e educadas, outras pessoas da equipe foram ríspidas. O café precisa ser feito com atenção, várias vezes o café estava fraco, parecia café misturado com água de tão fraco.
- Daniel (10/5): Excelente! Repito si o si ! - Todo Todo
Me ha gustado
- Emilien (3/5): J’ai très mal dormi mais j’ai bien visité New York - L’emplacement près de tout Monter d’énormes bagages 5 étages sans ascenseur. Un lit trop petit pour m’allonger . Il n’y a pas de plafond sur la chambre donc intimité relative
- Sarah Jessica (7/5): Austere but adequate. - Affordable stay in the middle of Manhattan. Very social; met lots of different travellers from different places. No lifts. The hostel is at the very top of the building. Luggage must be carried up many flights of stairs!! The showers and toilets needed refurbishing.
- Natalia (10/5): Ideal! - La ubicación es perfecta, tiene todo a la mano. Primero, la atención por whatsapp fue algo difícil porque yo estaba sin señal tratando de avisar que iba en camino al lugar y la persona que me respondió solo dijo: yo no hablo español. Creo que a este tipo de espacios llegan personas de todo lado y tu como personal debes estar preparado para esto, me pareció un poco odiosa esa respuesta. Ahora, el día que llegué, la persona que me recibió me vio llena de maletas y no me ofreció su ayuda, son 4-5 pisos de solo escaleras y el solo me veía subiendo las cosas sin inmutarse, no fue una buena bienvenida.
- April (10/5): I liked it a lot , and will stay again if ever in town. - I loved the area and the people staff.
It was very cute and cozy spot close to Madison Square Gardens! Those 5 flights of stairs.
- Souheyl (7/5): - L’emplacement et le fait d avoir des petites « chambres » individuelles. 1. L’espace salle de bain est bien trop sous-dimensionné. C’était compliqué d’être à plus de deux à l’intérieur et se changer était à chaque fois difficile.
2. La politique anti-ronflement. Certes on est prévenu à l’avance mais aucune auberge de jeunesse n’impose une telle règle. Ca fait partie de la vie en collectivité. En plus on ne contrôle pas son ronflement. Il peut arriver de ronfler juste parce qu’on a le nez bouché alors qu’on ne ronfle pas habituellement. Et réveiller ceux qui ronflent en réveillant tout le monde au passage est quelque chose d’assez radical !
- Rodríguez (10/5): I loved! I excellent for to spend the night. - Yes! Is was excellent The Space between the room
- Dmitriy (6/5): -
- Mathew (4/5): dont stay here unless you have no other option - the price and nothing more the smell. the worm everything the cramped old patched together bathrooms, the bed was barley 6 feet long the space was hot. is there such a thing as a hostel slumlord... I didn't think so but now I will more careful in choosing hostels in the US.
- Yasser (7/5): - I like the location and the friendliness of the staff. My expectations weren't high but it allow me to stay in the City for a few more days which is a good tradeoff. too cramped. Maybe a place at the main desk where you could lock up laptops.
- Jeongeun (5/5): - The location is excellent. I feel 28th st is a bit dodgy area compared to other streets but it’s just in the middle of Manhattan - so easy to move around and almost every main sites are easily accessible from the hostel. I had to spend over 200$ for one night here as it was peak season and all other hotel options under my budget were all booked out. The hostel provides nice privacy and decent breakfast. However I feel things are cramped in small spaces. I was staying in 5th floor and it looks like over 50people are cramped there(?) There was only two showers and it’s being cleaned maybe once in the morning so it gets fairly dirty by the night. That said, there are good rules and routines to keep the space tidy and in order. I would still choose this place than spending thousand dollars in hotels
