Stayed here 3 nights in a shared bathroom room and I gotta say that everything was great and as advertised. Few things - The heater was behind my bed and at night my pillows were extremely hot since the heat penetrated the bedrest which was a bit uncomfortable but not a deal breaker. The absence of an elevator is rough specially with heavy luggage and a very narrow staircase, but once again we knew that so it was fine. Employees were friendly and they had a few snacks on the desk. It’s amazingly situated as theres quite a lot of train stops near and decent restaurants and coffee shops ( Try the Mido’s Gyros they are amazing near Ulta ). We really enjoyed our stay will MOST DEFINITELY stay here the next time we got back to NY. PD The shared bathroom is a NON-ISSUE as most of the time people are out and its like right outside your room door under another hub that gives your privacy.

This was a great place to stay. Person at reception was very welcoming. Only negative was that the pipes where we were staying (room 508) were constantly making noise-loud noise- in the middle of the night several times, which made it impossible to sleep. Since they are old radiator, styled water heaters, the pipe pipes never stopped marking a “clanking” noise. (like someone was banging on a metal pipe with a hammer.). Other than that, the room was small, but was very clean.

The location was conveniently located near the 1 train, which made it easy to get there from Penn Station and to the theater. We were also able to drop our bags off before check-in. The rooms are quite compact and walk up only. It worked for a 1 night stay, but probably wouldn’t stay longer.

At less than $200/night minutes away from Greenwich Village with easy access to midtown Manhattan, this hotel is exceptional. Feels more like a boutique hotel than a hostel. The rehab of this late 19th century building keeps up with the needs of today's guest in every way but one: guests must carefully review the website and its photos. This building has no elevator and many long, steep flights of stairs. One must be very aware of this and plan accordingly.
