Great clean spot. It's a bit annoying that you have to share a room but compared to paying hundreds more in Manhattan I think it's way worth it. A little hard to find towels, but everything you need is provided. Laundry machines available for a fee. I was pleasantly surprised to see everything was very clean and well maintained. Thanks for the stay and God bless!

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The common areas are nice with lots of lounge space, there's even an outdoor patio area. The room is clean and about how you'd expect. It was a nice touch to have a curtain by your bed for some privacy. The only place that wasn't clean was some toilets but that's probably due to some guests being inconsiderate of others. I would recommend for a hostel.

Clean place, helpful staff, good option for long or short stays. The beds are comfortable, and the showers too (the toilet are a bit on the small side, but nothing major). Rooms have a locker, AC and heater. It has a cafeteria in the lobby and a new bar for guests. Study room, kitchen, laundry and other spaces are available for guests. Check in or check out processes are very smooth, and luggage storage is available.
