Worth the money”

Great location: Close to subway Station. Cheap grocery around. Spacious living room and kitchen. Good house keeping. Free luggage storage during stay. Strong WiFi. . Negative : Wall not up to ceiling. Noise from subway train and snoring can be heard. But earplud solve the problem. Get one from reception. Bed spring is not good. Can feel back pain. Shower and toilet is a bit nudy. Not 100% transparent but still can see something.

VALUE FOR MONEY”

great location, facilities and def a bargain for NYC prices..great kitchen and lounge space..staff could be a bit more on the ball at front desk was my only gripe but besides that it was def a great find for me..oh and u may need earplugs as other guests can forget about the space and make some noise while trying to sleep..

Local”

You get what you paid for and with the location itself this is a good budget stay. Clean, presentable but I really had hard time to understand why in the restroom after washing hands I am unable locate paper towels or at least hand dryer. This would be great to have!

A steal for the price”

You get a really good deal with this one. The space is right smack in the heart of Brooklyn. The bed was comfortable. You get what you pay for. Its especially great for people on a budget. Totally happy with my experience here. Will stay here again if I'm in Brooklyn.

Great stay! ”

Close to the subway station, super clean room, I even got upgraded to a two-bedroom without requesting it :D close to shops and so fun to walk around Williamsburg. I was traveling alone and felt self walk around at night, just 4 stops to get to Manhattan. I will definitely be staying there again when visiting NYC.

great location”

My second time staying here. Be aware that it can be rather noisy as the walls do not meet the roof and you may get a room right on the train line (nothing ear plugs can't solve). Location is amazing, great spot in BK with perfect access to lower Manhattan also. My only constructive criticism is that the front desk staff could at least pretend to look like they care about their job.

Good location and value for money. However, there is no elevator. It’s kinda difficult and tiring to go to the room. Plus, the ceiling is open so you can clearly hear anything, literally everything from the other rooms. Other than that, the place and the room was nice.

Good for travelers that are extremely tight on budget”

This is a good choice when you're extremely tight on budget, but don't expect much for such a low price. The location is good (next to the metro station). The rooms are modern and clean. From the other side, it's quite noisy there (trains passing by 24/7 + chatters in the room), so consider using headphones if you want to have a good sleep. The showers are combined with toilets in the same room (so prepare to listen to "interesting" sounds when you're taking a shower), and there's no place to put your dry clothes (just drop them on the floor). The staff is polite and friendly.

Nice accommodation for a budget trip”

When you do a solo traveling, and you think you wanna spend almost of all your day exploring the city, this place is an affordable accommodation.

Fair ”

Pros: cleanness, rooms(2people per room); kitchen along with tv table pool and baby football game table. Cons: arrived at 8am, had to wait until 3pm to check in; must give a deposit corresponding to the nightly charge. The location is great: Metro station: Hewes

Good but one thing to notice”

It's clean and near metro station. The kitchen area is next door and has a piano there. You need to deposit your passport to borrow a hair dryer. The only thing to notice is that there is no ceiling in a single room and all the rooms are connected so that you can hear clearly what your neighbours are talking and it's disturbing if someone snore loudly at night.

Excellent location”

The property is just few minutes walk from the nearest metro station - Marcy Ave. The lobby, corridor, and individual room are clean. It's just maybe they have to check the cleanliness of the bathroom more often since not all guest have same level of cleanliness when using the shared bathroom. The property doesn't have an elevator so if you're travelling with a huge luggage then you might ask the staff to help you carry your stuffs going up to your assigned room. The don't provide free breakfast however they have a kitchen/dining area where guests can freely stay and use the facilities.

Good enough”

It was clean and the bed was comfortable, steps away from subway station, and the staff were helpful, the cons are that the rooms are not fully closed to the roof so you can hear noises so easily.

convenient location”

Stayed here whilst attending UN conference. The hostel is just few minutes walking distance to the train station. Plenty of cafes to grab food to eat and discount stores to find bargain. Although it is by a busy main road, can hardly hear noise from the street once inside. The shared kitchen is next door, very spacious to cook your meals.

Okay if you’re sole purpose is just to sleep and wash”

Pros: Comfortable bed Large common area with kitchen and fridge Very close to subway/train Free luggage storage until 10pm after check out Provided towel and linens/beddings Free earplugs Cons: Loud noise from train/subway Rooms are not solid rooms but rather just partitions so you can hear everyone on the whole floor Only one shower room and toilets for the whole floor (3 cubicles each) but at least separate for males and females NO LIFT! Good luck carrying stuff upstairs the place is a bit dodgy/shady area of NY, I’d be wary to walk along that street during late hours on my own unlike other uptown parts Very Chaotic and not well-equipped kitchen $50 deposit fee upon check in To access the common area/kitchen, you need to get out of bldg. although it is just right next door Very missable hostel! I missed it and couldn’t find it at first, people had to direct me just to find the hostel Staff on the reception desk made me feel they don’t care/very apathetic

looks good”

Its location is great. Rooms are clean. But, whyyyyyy there's semi-transparent bathroom wall??? there's not even a lock in the toilet room?? and the soundproof is so bad that u can hear everyone doing everything. especially in the morning when ppls alarm starts to ring.

Easy to find food n train

10 nights in international students residence.”

i spent 10 nights in this hostel. and met so many ppl who staying in there. and they all said "this hostel is cheap. thats it. room is too tiny and can hear everything even ppl breathing while sleeping. also they dont have any breakfast (they have cafe but idk why it calls cafe its just kitchen and living area). hard to make friends. quite place." but location was pretty good. only take 15 mins to get Manhattan by train. if you want to make friends and hang out with them, go find other hostel. but if you need only bed and shower, book this hostel. but i will go back to there again whenever i have chance to visit nyc.

convenient location”

Stayed here whilst attending conference at United Nations. Easy access to the subway. Many grocery shops and discount store nearby. Huge kitchen for sharing. Only inconvenience is no lift.

Good”

I went there knowing that it wasn’t going to be a 5 start hotel, the room i stayed in was so tiny but it was fine. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay again!
