Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Good value, even better location! So close to the metro stop. The hostel was very clean and amenities were great. I only got to stay one night, but if I made a trip to NYC again I would definitely stay here! It’s no knock on the hostel, but there were some super loud and rude guests who were up until 3 out on the patio and my room just happened to be right above it. I brought it to the attention of the staff, but they only quieted down for a little bit and went on being loud again. Yes, it’s a hostel and it’s affordable accommodations, but people seriously need to learn some basic etiquette. It’s not like they rented out the whole property.
