- Fredy (6/5): Good hostel, poor location and neighborhood - The hostel itself is very cozy, clean, and comfortable. The staff was friendly, and overall the facilities met my expectations. The neighborhood is something to seriously consider. During the day it feels relatively calm, but at night it can feel less safe, with a noticeable presence of homeless people, which made me uncomfortable. The location is also quite far from downtown Manhattan. Access to the hostel can also be challenging if you are traveling with luggage, as the stairs are very narrow and not very convenient for carrying suitcases.
- Antúnez (10/5): Buena experiencia - Muy limpio Bueno
- Carlos Andres (10/5): -

- Barbora (9/5): -
- Irene (7/5): Buon rapporto qualità-prezzo - Gentilezza e velocità di risposta dei gestori.
Prima dell’arrivo ci hanno inviato informazioni utili su come raggiungere la struttura, come funzionano i codici delle stanze, ecc.
Struttura molto comoda per raggiungere la metro e spostarsi verso Manhattan.
A due minuti a piedi è presente un supermercato aspetto h24 comodissimo. Struttura un po’ datata, ma se si hanno grandi pretese è un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.

- Nigora (8/5): - Очень удобное расположение хостела. Ветка метро в 2-3 минутах. В комнате чисто. Wi-Fi скоростной.
- Juan David (10/5): -
- Vazquez (7/5): It was a nice stay but could improve the beds after long days out for people visiting. - It was close to the city and close to public transportation. It was small and the beds were uncomfortable to sleep on.
- Oscar (10/5): - El lugar es muy cómodo, fácil de llegar, nuestra habitación era pequeña pero era lo que necesitas, un lugar para descansar y dormir, el baño muy agradable, amplio, limpio todo okay. Qué no tenían plancha jaja para nosotros hubiera sido perfecto una plancha para la ropa :) y nos sacó de onda el qué entrarán a la habitación cuando no estábamos, NO PASÓ NADA pero nos dió un susto.
- sy (10/5): - We stayed in NY for 2 nights. We stayed in a room with private bathroom. The room and the bathroom was clean. Bed was comfortable to sleep on. The hostel was well explained how to get in to the hostel or how to use AC or heater in the messages. Price are affordable. Subway only like 1-2 mins walk from the hostel. Overall, we are very pleased to stay in east harlem hostel. If you just need a place to stay near Manhattan for visiting and with that price, we would definitely recommend it.
- Tomás (8/5): -
- Giraldo (8/5): - Excelente la relación precio/calidad. Muy aseado y justo lo que necesitábamos, un lugar solo para dormir. En el sector hay supermercados, restaurantes de comidas rápidas, en las noches a veces hay ruidos por los habitantes de calle que gritan pero también hay patrullas estacionadas en el sector entonces se siente seguro

- Jacek (6/5): Decent location - The hostel is located in a fairly decent area, well connected by subway, making it quite a good base for exploring the city. It is very strange that accessing the bathroom requires a separate code for an automatic lock. This is somewhat inconvenient, as you have to remember two combinations: one for the entrance and the room, and another for the bathroom. The room has no sound insulation at all—you can literally hear every rustle from the neighboring rooms.
- Katherin (10/5): Excelente precio-calidad - Excelente Ubicación, la estación del metro está a 1 minuto caminando, limpieza y es un espacio seguro ya que el manejo de las puertas de entrada y salida es 10/10 Se nos dificultó
El check in por el idioma, ya que la persona no habla nada español.

- Karim (10/5): -
- Kevin (5/5): -
- Micky (10/5): - Was a pretty good price for NYC, clean, 1 min walk from the subway so it’s the perfect accommodation if you spend all day in the city and just come back to sleep Room a bit small and not a lot of storage. Would be nice to have a place to store the suitcases and bags because they were taking all the space in the room. Bathroom was a bit old and could use more storage too and a bath mat. But we asked for one and then it was fine.
- Magdalena (10/5): -
- Manuel (10/5): Good value for money and convenient location - Near the subway. Good value for money. Fast responses from hosts. The nearest subway station is considerably dirtier than others. Nonetheless, we did not feel unsafe, while there were plenty of police nearby.
- Mickael (8/5): -
- Sabina (7/5): relació qualitat preu adecuat - hi ha un supermecat 24h, el barri es complicat ja que vam veure situacions força curioses. El metro esta a 2 minuts caminant i no vaig tenir cap problema La habitació es molt petita per dues persones, no hi ha espai per tenir la maleta oberta o col.locar la roba
- Kierra (7/5): -
- HYUNMIN (10/5): 뉴욕에 오면 또 올 의향 있음. - 위치가 일단 좋있어요. 친절하시고, 가격도 만족스러웠습니다.
- Kseniya (9/5): - Fare price, near subway, clean and cozy, staff was friendly and helpful district doesn’t seem save, bathroom doesn’t have heater
- Victor Buzahr (7/5): -
- Joanick (8/5): Just good 😊 - Le lieu et l’accueille Les escaliers 😂
- sébastien (8/5): - L’emplacement, près du métro.
Le quartier multiculturel. Le logement est vraiment petit.
- Blake (9/5): - Excellent hostel, East Harlem is a great way to experience New York. The Hostel communicated everything about my upcoming stay in a timely and professional manner...definitely recommend. I would advise bringing your own bedsheets, but otherwise was very clean
- Patience (7/5): The host was amazing and kept on checking on me. They were very accommodating as well. - It was central, close to the subway, easy to move around It was quite tiny than I expected. But given that it is a hostel that’s expected.
- Clemens (10/5): -
- Avery (10/5): Cozy , good location, worth price ! - It was very close to a subway ,, we had an issue with plumbing but the staff responded quickly and got it resolved quickly even though it was 10 pm ! Clean facilities ,, the shower head did have some red on it that might need to be cleaned I’d say but other than that very clean and cozy place and worth the money Bathroom shower head was dirty , no full body mirror
- Adrià (8/5): - Basic hostel in Harlem with no amenities. 2 bed rooms is very convenient if you don't want to share with strangers. Good prices for NYC! The lack of a common kithcen. not the best street in Harlem, many homeless in the streets.
- Kostadinov (10/5): A pleasant stay with good value for money and a convenient location. - The hostel was clean and well maintained. The room was comfortable, the bed was good, and the atmosphere was calm. The location is convenient, with easy access to public transportation. Staff were friendly and helpful. Everything was good overall. As a small note, the room was a bit small, but this is understandable for a hostel in New York.
- Martina (8/5): - La camera accogliente e pulita, c'era tutto il necessario per un soggiorno a New York. L'host molto disponibile a ogni richiesta (cambio asciugamani, una coperta in più) e a dare consigli sulla zona. In poche fermate di metro si è in centro e la posizione della camera è veramente vicina alla metro. La zona soprattutto la notte non è consigliabile, ma noi non abbiamo avuto mai problemi però non siamo mai tornati a notte fonda.
- Kevyn (1/5): Estancia aceptable, pero no para repetir. - En general, agradezco que el alojamiento haya permitido adelantar el check-in, eso fue muy conveniente. Sin embargo, no hubo flexibilidad al momento de la salida, y considero que un check-out a las 11:00 es demasiado temprano, sobre todo cuando en la mayoría de los alojamientos se maneja el mediodía como estándar o, al menos, se ofrece extenderlo con un pago extra. Durante mi estadía, el aseo fue poco exhaustivo y no cambió en los 3 días que estuve. Además, faltaban cosas básicas como un hervidor o algún utensilio mínimo para tener agua caliente o simplemente un vaso. En el baño, el agua salía tibia y las instalaciones no eran las mejores.
Entiendo que, para Nueva York, el precio no es alto, pero por estos detalles, sinceramente, no volvería.
- Delton (10/5): -
- Met7 (10/5): Super - Siamo state molto bene. La zona è sicura (2 ragazze) e servita. Ogni mattina uscivamo e facevamo colazione in un posto diverso nei dintorni. La metro è a 50 metri, di sera è stracomodo! Supermercato aperto H24 accanto. L'ostello in sé è essenziale, ma comodo. Non abbiamo mai incrociato nessuno in bagno, anche se era comune. Se pensate di trascorrere in alloggio solo le poche ore di sonno che NY concede, è perfetto! Ed economicamente imbattibile! Ci ritornerei molto volentieri. Ah! Lo staff è fantastico e sempre presente anche se a distanza. GRAZIE!
- Carla (8/5): - Les chambres étaient propres c'était pile ce qu'il fallait pour un voyage de 4 jours à New York. Très bon emplacement, proche des transports en commun, arrivée totalement autonome avec porte à code ce qui est très pratique ! Bon rapport/qualité prix si vous souhaitez profiter à pleinement de la ville et rentrer à l'hôtel uniquement pour dormir. Il manquait potentiellement une couverture chaude pour les couchages (seulement un drap et un plaid).
Le système de climatisation à la fenêtre laisse passer un courant d'air froid et du bruit extérieur
Le mitigeur de la salle de bain est compliqué à régler pour une température optimale.
Très peu de rangement pour nos propres affaires.
Dommage, pas de savon sur place pour la douche mais cela était dit dans les messages avant notre arrivée
- Milena (10/5): Good location, clean and comfortable - The location is great, only 15 minutes walking from the Central Park north entrance.
Subway is 2 min walking.
The room was clean, the bed was so comfortable!
Locks are easy to use, and it was well explained prior to arrival. I would like to suggest adding a small mirror in the rooms, to avoid going to the bathroom:)
- Léo (8/5): On passe par tous les états ce fut un bon séjour - Simple bien situé pas trop bruyant Pas de petit vers pour boire dans chambre. Pas de débarbouillette petite serviette pour se laver Trop froid dans la salle de bain
- Snellings (10/5): Will stay again - Location was perfect for me, as I was visiting a friend who lives in Archcare health facility. It was less than a mile to reach his nursing home and an easy walk with convenience stores and restaurants along the way. Neighborhood is a little rougher than some other parts of Manhattan, but I never felt unsafe.
Hostel was impeccably clean and the housekeeping staff were excellent. One even helped me get my suitcase down the stairs on checkout day! I would have liked a mirror in my bedroom, especially since we're reminded not to linger in the shared bathroom.
I would have preferred not to have to enter a code to get to the bathroom. Everyone has already used a code to enter the building, so I'm not sure why the bathroom area needed another lock.
- Ernesto (9/5): Confortable y la ubicación cercana al Subwayfue excelente - Limpieza y cercanía al Subway El sector aunque no es malo si se ve personas que consumen drogas, es evidente por el estado que las ve uno en la calle
- Ignacio (10/5): -
- Vitaliy (10/5): Perfecto para mochileros o gente que no busca lujos sino pasar la noche en una habitacion privada - Me ha gustado la ubicación, está a 10 minutos caminando de central park y a 2 minutos de la parada del metro. Bien ubicado.
- Anderson (7/5): Nice - Location Bathroom was not cleaned at all
- Daniel (7/5): Buena relación calidad precio - Muy buena conexión con estación de tren y buena zona comercial Está ubicado en un barrio donde existen problemáticas de drogas y delincuencia, hay que tener cuidado constante en la calle porque existe la posibilidad de tener encuentros con personas no muy agradables que podrían intimidarte o incluso atacarte, esto último me sucedió!
- Liimo (9/5): Cute, cozy place in a unique and diverse area with a rich mix of culture and arts - A very cute, cozy, humble and lowkey place to stay while visiting the city. It's conveniently located in East Harlem, a diverse, lively and vibrant area with a unique mix or cultures and arts!
- Martin (7/5): -
- ehpaw (10/5): Stayed for 3 nights it was good for the price and just like the pictures. Great deal and close to the subway - Clean and just like the pictures There was no problem with it
- Adrià (8/5): - Basic hostel in Harlem with no amenities. 2 bed rooms is very convenient if you don't want to share with strangers. Good prices for NYC! The lack of a common kithcen.
- Henry (9/5): -
- Leif (9/5): - Clean hostel for a decent price. Good access to public transport. Would come again. The neighborhood appears a bit sketchy. Fine for a few days though
- Cynthiapple11 (8/5): Buena estancia - El hospedaje bien ubicado, cerca a la estación del metro y paradero de buses, a media cuadra había tiendas. Todo bien
- Andrea (9/5): -
- Echeverria Vaca (8/5): Buena experiencia - Si N/A
- Nemo74 (8/5): Ottimo punto d'appoggio per dormire - Ottima posizione, letto molto comodo e wifi veloce. Ottima comunicazione con il gestore che è molto premuroso ad informare di ogni cosa. Posizionato vicinissimo alla metro. mancanza di uno spazio per lasciare i bagagli e di una stanza comune relax
- Johnson (7/5): -
- Graciela (10/5): Bueno, bonito y barato - La cama era comoda Que la ducha era fija y no tenia mango para bajarla de la pared.
- Chigo (8/5): Average - Typical new york apartment. Clean and next to the subway. The staff is very nice It's not really a hostel because there are not common areas or a lobby. Just rooms with a shared bathroom
- Natàlia (9/5): -
- Jerónimo Cárdenas Duque (10/5): La mejor opción calidad/precio para no salir de Manhattan. - El hostal es perfecto para lo que se necesita: dormir bien, asearse y salir al otro día a seguir caminando. Todo funciona bien: el internet, el baño, las habitaciones, el aseo, TODO. Es simplemente la mejor opción calidad/precio que hay en este momento para no tener que irse de Manhattan. Su atención es rápida y oportuna. Están todo el tiempo pendientes de ti. Excelente experiencia la verdad. Todo nos gustó. Íbamos prevenidos por otros comentarios del barrio. Pero la verdad la zona es cero grave. Pues... normal... Harlem... pero nada del otro mundo ni para preocuparse. Entramos y salimos sin problema a las 6 de la mañana, a las 8 de la noche, a las 2 de la mañana. Nunca tuvimos ningún inconveniente con los vecinos de Harlem. Todo nos gustó.
- Claudia (10/5): Polecam serdecznie - Świetna lokalizacja, niedaleko Central Parku. Kontakt z obsługą przez WhatsApp, bardzo przyjemny. Hotelik czysty, jest wszystko co potrzeba. Stacja metra tuż obok oraz sklepy, knajpki. Polecam serdecznie. Ludzie w okolicy mogą troszkę wydawać się niebezpieczni. Ale nikt mnie nie zaczepiał i wszystko było dobrze, można wczuć się w klimat East Harlemu 😊
- Charles Stanislas (8/5): Bon rapport qualité/prix à 15 minutes de Times Square - Bouche de métro à deux pas. En plus il s’agit de la ligne 6 qui dessert toutes les stations principales de Manhattan.
Le service client très réactif et sympathique. Sentiment d’insécurité dans le quartier.
Mauvaise isolation phonique. Nous avions l’impression de dormir dans la rue.
- Valentin (10/5): -
- Fernanda (9/5): Calidad precio, ideal - La cercanía que tenía al centro de New York, calidad precio súper bien.
Nos gustó también la facilidad con la que hicimos el checking. La ubicación estaba bien por la cercanía, pero era muy inseguro y de noche más, hay que tener cuidado.
- Jose (7/5): Recomendable - La ubicación cerca al metro Que las gradas son muy sonoras y viejas
- Amanda (10/5): Good localization and gentle people. - The people that works there are very gentle and nice. They left us made the chekin earlier because of the time of our flight. I think the cleaning should be a little bit better, but that’s fine.
- Amina (2/5): - The process of check in very weird. It seems for me that isn`t convenient way. I booked for 2 days, But i had to change my room after 1 day to another room. The cleanliness not bad. The location also not safe if you are travelling alone. In my case, i saw many homeless people and dangerous people there and i scared to walk in the outside even i was with my friend.
- Kadylak (10/5): Hostel was good, the neighborhood is worse than a dumpster - Overall my stay at hostel was nice. I did get the option to have my own private bathroom and this was ideal for my girlfriend and I. Oh my god the neighborhood is lowkey terrible bro im ngl. You walk down the street seeing open drug use and deals. They block the subway while smoking k2. Absolutely sketchy and not ideal but it is was it is
- Robin (9/5): -
- Marco (8/5): Easy access in Manhattan - The location is excellent very close to the 6 train at 116th street. There are shops around and food options as well for a late food grab.
The room is small but good enough for two people. The bed is very comfortable and room temperature was on spot. They also have both AC and heater for convenience. Everything was super clean as well which is a plus. The bathroom was pristine the only inconvenience is sometimes it’s busy and you have to wait.
The staff was excellent in communicating before, during, and after with clear instructions to get in. Everything went smooth and I’d definitely stay again.
Some say the area is not safe but quite on the contrary, if you’re familiar with NYC you know it’s just a regular area. All was good
- Lenka (7/5): -
- Agata (5/5): Good location. Shared bathroom needs updating. Room ok, no need for the desk, better if room had some hanging space and - Location Noisy air conditioning and not able to switch it off.
- zeynep (7/5): - Temiz bir oda fotoğraf ile aynı ancak konumu yalnız kadınlar için ürkütücü. Konum
- hervé (10/5): -
- Alex (10/5): It was great - Minimalistic gets the job done Lift would have been nice but otherwise was fine
- Macarena (9/5): Excelente ubicación, buena comunicación con el dueño y disponibilidad - La limpieza y cercanía al metro
- Anastasiia (7/5): -
- Elena (7/5): -
- fred (8/5): vu les prix pratiqué à new-york, ce logement avait le meilleur rapport qualité-prix. - J'ai apprécié l'accès facile par code, proche du métro. Les chambres étaient propres. L'air-co ne fonctionnait pas ou alors nous n'avons pas compris comment il fonctionnait. Il y avait ce que je pensais être l'airco mais s'est avéré être un ventilo relié à l'extérieur mais extrêmement bruyant ne permettant pas de dormir avec celui-ci en fonctionnement. La fenêtre donnait sur les toits plats des bâtiments voisins sur lesquels étaient installés les air-co ou/et ventilations. Ces derniers étaient plutôt bruyantes.
- Beatriz (6/5): - La ubicación Que el teclado de la puerta estaba averiado y tenían que abrirme remotamente
- Sezer (5/5): -
- Fabian (5/5): - No, mucho la verdad. El lugar adentro es limpio pero no sé le mpuede llamar Hostel a un edificio que no tiene una zona común, en donde llegas y no hay nadie q te reciba, el edificio es viejo y no me gustó El edificio, las instalaciones, la zona donde está ubicado es feo, nada bueno
- Annemiek (10/5): -
- Andrea (8/5): - Posizione molto comoda utilizzando la metro per spostarsi, o a 15 minuti dalla parte alta di Central Park. L'host molto disponibile e sempre pronto a rispondere in chat. La zona non è delle migliori, la camera era un po' piccola, il condizionatore molto rumoroso e esattamente sul letto. Non sono problemi che mi hanno dato fastidio in ogni caso.
- Dan (10/5): - מילא את כל הציפיות. חדר קטן במחיר קטן. ממוקם ממש ליד התחתית.
