Nice, quiet & considerate guests in my all-female 10-count room. Climate control seemed perfect. Front desk check-in was simple but thorough. The cafe is the Bomb. A local church tower with noon bells.

I paid for a 6 person dorm and was put in a 10 person one, which seemed unfair given 6 person was more expensive through Expedia. Location was good and the top bunks have a blackout curtain and a rail alongside them which makes them feel secure and private.

One of the best hostels in the country! Traveling on a very tight budget in NYC and needed place to lay my head at night. This hostel is FANTASTIC. It’s cleaner with more amenities than some of the cheaper hotels. Plus it’s close to the heart of NYC and lots of transportation accessibility. If you don’t mind sharing a room with people, this is a great place to stay. Great little coffee shop and restaurant in lobby too. I’d rather stay here and be close to everything than spend more than double on a dingy motel outside the city.
