Thirty patrons were watching the Academy Awards Mar 2/2025 on the HI New York large screen tv. This was an important once a year show and we wanted to watch the awards and not a comedy show which railroaded its way in and rudely shut off the tv feed. We told the comedy group we weren’t interested in comedy since we were there to watch the Academy Awards and wanted the comedy group to go away. We even went to the front desk to complain,who refused to let us continue to watch the OSCARS. This was handled very poorly and caused a lot of anger.

Almost Perfect

This hostel is so close to being beyond amazing. The location is great, with a short walk to subway access. There's also a decent variety of restaurants nearby. It was very clean, from the front entrance to the dorm rooms. I appreciated the cafe with reasonable prices (the food was almost all good, the eggs were a little rough as they're reheated but for the price and convenience it's nothing a little salt and pepper can't make manageable). Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The only issues that I had were for one, the twice that I had to use the handicapped shower stall during my stay due to availability, the water didn't get any better than lukewarm. The other showers got very warm. I hate that the only shower option that someone may have isn't comfortable. Secondly, the beds were insanely hard. I woke up at 4:30 on my last day because my back was screaming in pain, and I don't have back issues. It's manageable with enough pillows and blankets to cushion, but it's really uncomfortable. I absolutely loved the value and the location. If I was working with a limited budget, I wouldn't be afraid to stay here again. However, if I have the budget for something else then I'm going to choose something else, just for the sleep quality. I really appreciate all of the extras offered, but at the end of the day I'm paying for a place to sleep.
