Great location and easy accessible for all the New York, I am rating 3 only because I had a hard time to lift and bring down my two 50lbs each luggage to 5th floor, and the bathroom of 5th floor is very stinky for my entire 3 night stay
Great Manhattan spot if you’re looking for somewhere affordable and easy access to the subway!!! Double bed room was small for 2 people but it was a comfortable bed and air/heat was effective. Never had issues waiting for shared bathroom as there were multiple bathrooms on every floor. Five floors and stairs are narrow so not very accessible but that’s the case with most older buildings. Walls are thin so expect to hear people moving about, but again, if you’re looking for a safe and affordable option for staying in Manhattan that has easy transportation, it checked all of those boxes which worked for us! Tina at the front desk was a delight and the other staff I interacted with in passing were kind and courteous.
Staff was available but felt off in that they didn’t verify my ID. Common areas (kitchen and bathroom) were nicely updated. The bedroom itself was clean but walls looked like they can used a paint or cleaning.
For some reason the heat was on despite the high for the day being 70

Liked: Cleanliness
Cons: Extremely small room, no wash clothes, no bed blanket (had to ask for one), 5th floor walk up (no elevator), and lots of heavy slamming doors throughout the night. Pros: Great location, secure building and rooms, and friendly staff. Note: This is a hostel so you get to share a bathroom with 4 other rooms per floor.
I don't generally stay in hostels and didn't expect that much, and so wasn't that disappointed. The bathrooms were fine, although having soap consistently would be nice. The bedroom was very small and kind of worn, which gets to the main issue - $280/night for this?? That's highway robbery, no matter what the market will bare. I made the reservation very late, because of a flight cancellation, and I don't know if they engage in some sort of dynamic pricing scheme, but I had just stayed in Williamsburg in a Pod hotel which was MUCH nicer for the same price.
