There was only 1 staff that was most helpful at the tour desk. Unfortunately, I did not get his name. Most other hostels I have been to in Australia and NZ were not only very helpful with tours and information but had great tips for travellers. Although I arrived at the hostel past midnight, I had pre-booked my stay. Despite that, I was assigned to a bed with dirty sheets and no pillows etc. To minimise disturbance to my dorm mates, I did not turn on the lights and just slept with whatever I had. Nonetheless, overall, had a good hostel experience.

I didn't sleep well, because every night there was some one busy packing is bags, using her laptop or making noise when arriving back at the hostel afther a pub crawl.

NYC is a great hostel but they shouldn't cramp 8 beds into a room only big enough for 6 people. Especially once you consider all their luggage etc. The neighbourhood it was in was a bit dicey late at night.

When I make my booking on internet was an price, but when I arrive in the hostel the girl tell me another price, "because the total paid in the moment of booking is for the web site, not for the hostel, then I need to pay more". Then the girl ask to me: "you have a HI card?" I said "No", then I need to pay U$ 3,00 more for each day, because I dont have the card, but in the website is one price, when you arrive in the hostel they tell you another price! Prepair to paid more U$ 3,00 for each day if you dont have the HI card! I ask for the guy for HI how I need to pay for a taxi, then he tell me U$ 40,00, but when the taxi driver arrive he talks with the guy: "Cuanto le cobraste?" But i speak Spanish too, then I saw if is a diferent price for tourist, if I get a taxi on the street I'll pay less then the taxi calling for the hostel, because the guy from the hostel put some money in the price for him!!!

Great experience, but one downside - Why does there have to be music blasting constantly in all the public areas? I found that completely unnerving and not at all conducive to conversation, study, reading, resting, or a quiet meal or snack.
