A great hidden gem especially for those traveling on a budget. NYC has great restaurants but that can get expensive so the cooking facilities are a tremendous asset. The patio, bar/ lounge, pool table are all great amenities

I have been enjoying this Hostel for a long time now and watched as they have made a few tweeks. It's more than a comfortable bed and great shower, with often nice company. There are great tours to take and now there is also a bar for those who like a drink. The bus stops virtually outside from Penn or Central station and if you go over a block you can get a bus to Times Square or in the opposite direction to Harlem. Enjoy your stay whether you are a solo traveller or a family.
