    Though staff wanted to be helpful, they were ineffective in being able to get other guests to be respectful of others, noise levels at all hours of night kept our room awake.

    This is a nice, safe and very clean hostel. You won´t need shoes or flip flops to get back to your room from the shower, they keep it all clean. For $44 I got a quiet night at a 12 bed dorm. The hostel seems to be popular with young groups (with their teachers) and early 20´s. The staff at the check in are great and helpful about the hostel and the city. However the girls at the café have no intention of being your friend and focus on gossiping with each other during serving you, as most of the unsocial people at serving jobs do in NYC. The breakfast bagel with cheese and ham was good and cheaper than elsewhere I have spotted.

    Hostel response:
    Hell Reetta, Thank you for your feedback on our hostel staff and facilities. We hope that our service will be even greater for your next visit with us! Take care, HI New York

    01 Apr 2012 Stacy, USA

    Although it's huge, I found the hostel to be very hospitable. There is plenty of space in the 6 bed dorm. The bunk beds are solid and not flimsy, squeaky like so many other hostels. Located in a classic, brick and mortar building. Very classy.

    Hostel response:
    Hello Stacy, Thanks for the terrific review of our hostel! We are happy that we were able to provide great service and comfort. Please visit again on your next trip to NYC! Take care, HI New York
