Location is great. It was too hot and noisy during night because oil heater kept running all night.

It seems that there are local homeless people living in the propriety (not that is a problem, but they need to add extra steps to keep the place clean), and there are so many cockroaches everywhere. They must not have done proper pest control for several months.

All i got to say was it worth the money. When i enter my room, theres already a roomate, he/she was not in the room but the entire chamber smells like someone poured a whole bottle of whiskey The air conditioner might not working and the sheets was not cleaned enough. Other than that, everthing is good so far. My opinion, it is a place for temporary stop with limitation.

It's exactly what you pay for. Where else can you stay in NYC for this price? The bed was very uncomfortable and the provided sheet left me freezing through out the night...Other than that, it's a roof over your head for a great price.

It was absolutely disgusting. Body fluids on the bedsheets and pillow cases, the bathrooms was so disgusting and looked like a prison. When i got new bedsheets they also had body fluid stains. I left and slept outside the theater with my friends while they waited for rush tickets.. i felt more safe outside the theater than that hostel.

It has been a great experience and stay in this place. The place is central and easily accessible, the workers of the place were always very friendly and courteous. The treatment by the staff has been the best, I highly recommend it.

It's cheap which is excellent for a college student who visits NY for a one night stand or for anybody, who wants to save money. However the conditions for cheap payment comes with poor quality.

It's a good place, for the price it's great you share a room with only one person and people that work here are chilled and leave you alone, you don't have to pay a fee for the deposit. Nice thing is that you have the bath and shower room to your self and it is not like other places where there are 3 showers in one room. It's not a luxury 7star place but it's been my favorite budget place in NYC so far

People have been a little hard on this place. Yes it is pretty low-end but does have the basics. They are right to say bring your own towel and blanket though. And soap for hand/shower

When I arrived, they had forgone my reservation and were full. I had to find another place to stay in the middle of the night. Bad experience

they over booked so we were told to sleep in the lobby or go somewhere else at 1am. The lobby already had 3 people sleeping in it and it was a tiny closet like room. No refunds for their mistakes either

The people who run this place are nice enough but they need to do a far better job maintaining the place. They should make sure toilet paper and soap is stocked up in every bathroom, air blowers are functioning, and that the showers are consistently cleaned.
