I loved this stay so much. There’s a subway station less than 2 blocks away and it made getting around so much easier. Lots of great food options nearby. Staff was great and super friendly. Very clean (rooms and bathrooms as well as common areas). Will definitely come back here when I come back to New York!

I stayed for just one day and really enjoyed myself. The room, bathroom, and common areas were very clean, and the staff was courteous throughout my visit. The hostel’s location is excellent—just one block from Broadway, about a 10-minute walk to Central Park, and close to the subway. There are plenty of cafés and restaurants within walking distance, which made exploring the neighborhood easy and fun. I also joined one of their weekly events, which was a great way to meet new friends and make memories, even though the venue was a bit farther away. There was some construction inside the hostel, but it didn’t interfere with my stay at all. I didn’t use the kitchen, but overall, I highly recommend this hostel for anyone looking for a clean, friendly, and well-situated place to stay in uptown New York.
