Female solo traveller in a 4 female room”

Safe area in front of the tenement museum. Close to cafes for brunch and coffee in the morning. Music was loud Friday and Saturday night 11pm to 3am from bars near by. Good experience with roommates and hostel staff.

Perfectly good option in superb location”

I booked this with trepidation due to some bad reviews. Location is absolutely perfect - in Lower East Side, opposite the Tenement Museum, and walkable to all of Downtown. The dorm has a slightly weird set up - a huge room, with 4 bunks and then 2 single beds in an adjoining room., all sharing a nice bathroom that was kept spotlessly clean. Towels replaced every day and beds were made most days. Lots of hot water, good pressure.. The oom even had a large table and chairs - and its own terrace. A/C too. To be honest there could easily be 10-12 beds instead of 6 - not sure why there isn't! Reception was pleasant, good value cafe downstairs, plus a kind of lounge area with a microwave. Wifi was just okay. Luggage storage free but not the most secure - in the basement in an unlocked room, I'd recommend using a lock to secure your bag to the fittings. I paid $50 per night inc tax - a ridiculous price but that's NYC! Blue Moon was by far the cheapest option unless you stay far out of town

Really well priced for location”

£20 a night in central Manhattan is a highly competitive price. Not to mention my bed in the 6 person dorm was comfortable and the room along with the bathroom were immaculate. Staff were friendly and helpful. Negative - elevator is very slow

Exceptional”

conveniently located on lower east side of new york. Close to train stations, cafes and restaurants. Rooms were clean. There was a storage room for luggage and a small locker in the room for your most precious valuables. Front desk had padlocks available for $5

Nice place to stay ”

Very nice building and location. Great price as well. Only downside was a leaky faucet so the bathroom floor was wet often.

Value for money”

Good hostel in a hotel option, rooms are clean and not cramped

Great for a one night stay”

I needed to stay a night in NY after my flight landed and take a bus to my college from Chinatown. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and felt my luggage was safe in my room, despite having a bunk bed in a room if 4 strangers. Would recommend this place.

Good location and clean room”

The location is near to the Metro station, only 1 minutes walk. The room and facilities were clean. Kind and helpful staffs. I enjoyed staying.

Leisure”

Stayed here last week, good location for public transit, F& M trains to uptown and buses close by. 4-5 walk to the subway. Right Across to Tenement Museum and plenty of good eating places and grocery place. Pros: Good location, price for NY, cleanliness, Coffee shop at the front, friendly staff , especially the young ladies. Rooms, with very clean linens like a hotel and fridge. Cons: Room for 4 people, pictures not real pics as on the web, there are 2 double beds and one tiny single bed, so it is your luck what you get. Also even though it says all female dorms, it may not be in reality. On 2nd day, although i was in 4 female only room, a couple moved in, i was fine with it. But someone may not be comfortable with it of two guys come in and someone booked female only room. I had noticed that during check-in, a couple before me was separated in different rooms, husband was put in a female only room, which didn't make them happy. Reception response was not helpful for them.

Value for money”

Good location and better alternative for a hostel

Good location”

The location was good, was safe despite going back late at night. Downside is the bathtub always choked but other than that, the stay was enjoyable.

Great central location at fair price”

Towel, shower gel provided. Fair wifi. Good central location. No issues. Bed fine.

Very good”

Location is good. Easy access to subway and bus stop. Next to Chinatown. Staff are nice. Good for a cheap stay.

Good Location and cheapest in NY City for single traveler”

1. super small bed 2. no comment area but a public area for people to stay 3. have wifi 4. share bathroom with hot water

Bed bugs !!”

First of all there BED BUGS !! Painful bugs !!

Loose of services”

Staff are not mind services

Horrible staff”

To be fair, the room was nice and big enough, but the staff left me FUMING. I arrived earlier than the check in time because I took a midnight bus from DC. When I got there, the lady at the front desk was extremely rude and aggressive. She didn't even let me use the bathroom, and when I went to sit at the common area she came in an YELLED at me that she hadn't "allowed me" to stay in that area. I mean, if I'm a paying guest why can't I sit there? The staff the rest of the day was friendly and nice but I do need to warn you about the morning shift person. On top of that, my room was on the 8th floor and the elevator was broken. I had to drag my bags up some veryyyy steep stairs to get to the room.

Acceptable”

The room did not match the picture as advertised and the A/C did not work in the room...I was very disappointed with my stay and the friendliness of the staff. I would not stay here again. The staff said they did not have a room like the one posted and could not do anything for me...They just said to call the manager to complain, but they did nothing to help make the situation better.

Bed bugs !!”

why the Room (run of house) which is not described property but it's a bed in 6 person dorm more expensive than a normal bed in a 6 person dorm That's the same !!! But more expensive And in the morning I woke up bitten by bed bugs !! Unfortunately I can't post pictures in here but it looks very bad and it's badly painful !! Avoid !!

Acceptable”

Staff were quite surly (maybe this is just New York) and would barely make eye contact, let alone smile of explain the facilities.
