Every member of staff was helpful and friendly, “CC” Ciara was super nice and professional to say she hasn’t been there a full year. But it’s our personalities that makes the job at the end of the day

The front desk staff was very kind and welcoming. The building was well-maintained and clean. Other than hot water not coming out from the shower during my first day, I would say I thoroughly enjoyed my experience (they quickly resolved the issue though). Staying at the hostel is also a great way to meet new people since you share a room with others. The hostel puts on a lot of events as well. For example, when I was there, the Knicks were playing in the finals, so they played the game in the lobby. It was a very lively environment since people from outside the hostel also came to watch the game. Overall, I would highly recommend this hostel.
