Continental Hostel, New York (NY)

Based on a couple of the reviews on different websites, we were a little anxious to see what the hostel would be like. But even though the outside temperature was hot, our rooms (2 bunkbed rooms) had airconditioning so the inside temperature was perfect. The bathroom was cleaned every day and was very clean, and the sheets were changes twice during our 7 nights stay. The rooms were clean as well. They're small, but enough for a traveler who's only there to sleep and spend the rest of the days in the city (what you will probably do). If you would choose to stay indoors, there's a big recreation room in the basement with computers, free pooltable and a pingpongtable as well. So plenty to do if you like. Also there's plenty of room to just sit and relax. The subway is very close by, and there are a couple of diners within walking distance for your breakfast in the morning, as well as two Starbucks' for your daily dose of caffeine.

The room was very clean (was cleaned every day). Also the bathroom got cleaned everyday, but you have to be in there before the Germans were in. Because after them the whole bathroom was over and over with hairs and dirt. The location is also very good as the underground station is just around the corner (the best is also the express lines stop there)!
