I liked it is centric and close to subway and bus. I didn't like the check in is "online"; the host should be in the reception to provide assistance.

it's a 9 month new into the open, they renovated from a bar/restaurant I believe, awesome setup and common area for reading, working your laptop, or just the lounge every floor. They have female only floor too. They have Wednesday and Friday event going on the reception floor too, like live music or comedian, tenants get free access. The only thing I hoped more the air circulation on the sleeping area and also the opposite street seems with lines of people for public beneficiaries though, but non concern any way just a bit appearance.

The pods are not properly closed on top, you can hear everyone coughing and hacking. I got a nasty strain of Covid here and am still unwell 12 days later and miserable. Do not stay here in fall/winter - or if you are immunocompromised - ever. It’s a lovely hostel with great location and amenities annd common spaces otherwise but with that warning. The staff are kinda absentee everything’s on some video call box and it takes ages to find a human. I felt like asking them a question was an inconvenience and waited a long time in the lobby. Not the end of the world but feels like they need customer service refresher. I wasn’t asking for anything high maintenance either - just help checking in/out and bag storage. They should offer face masks (not just eye ones, mouth kind) and insist anyone with cold symptoms wear it inside the building at least.

The reviews were very helpful for my stay. Most important thing: this is essentially a hostel with multiple rooms that happen to be enclosed in walls. Ceilings are open so you'll hear other people sleeping/snoring/waking up. Bring earplugs! Also if you're over 6' you won't be able to stretch out completely. If you're onboard for all of that in exchange for one of the cheapest stays in NYC, then the bathrooms and common areas are top notch - very stylish. It's the right stay for the right moment.

Worst ever lodging. False and misleading description. Absentee management . A single vacant guy upon checkin angrily have me a room on the men’s floor where I was literally in a micro dorm room with thin walls and no ceiling opposite the washroom while dozens of loud snoring mammals prevented any kind of sleep/rest/comfort. Bedding? Mattress? Flooring? A mountain hut in Nepal is luxury compared to this . Tried to obtain a refund for the second night thru Expedia who did nothing and a different single careless guy whom was unapologetic about everything including the fact that the bathroom was not supplied with toilet paper or soap .

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Confusing check in, no one was available, then by virtual cal never explained the process! Bathroom cold and not always clean! Also no paper towel or air to dry hands. Place is very dark on the hallways and like a maze with poor signage. Room is a prison, zero decor. Not even one hanger. $2 sheet and a barely 1/8” think blanket the size of an infant. Door Lock is extremely annoying and complicated.Unfinished ceiling! Paper thin walls you can literally hear the guest next door snoring or even rolling in bed while sleeping! Two $2 wall lamps that were literally falling apart! Very poor condition. The area is nice though and close to the city. But leave this place as the very last possible option.

The women's only shared living room & kitchen were cute. Shower pressure & hot water was good. The rooms are old & doesn't have enclosed ceilings so you can hear your neighbor cough & snore but you get what you pay for. The overnight guy was friendly & helpful. Check in was really easy with no front desk.

Not a place I would go back too. Bathrooms not clean. Rooms are cubicles with no ceiling... 25 per floor. The snoring was unbearable and no management to address it. Powdered coffee in the morning, did not help...

I liked a lot, the only problem is if someone near you snores very laugh, it will be hard to sleep. Also one single toilet for a whole floor it's hard to take a bath or simply use the toilet. The location and the staff was amazing, was good for some vacation days.
