    This place is great, cool location and really easy going staff. I met loads of people while staying here which meant there was something to do everynight (I was travelling alone). The nieghbourhood is pretty safe and there are plenty of bars in the local area. I found this place difficult to book because it does get quite crowded. I couldn't get a reservation so just turned up hoping they'd have a cancellation, which they did.

    The most memorable part of my whole visit to NYC was going to see Ricky Lake. JOTP organise the tickets etc and its all free of course. I'll never forget the show, a couple both cheating on eachother, but the guy had a secret boyfriend and the girl had a secret girlfriend! Of course its all probably fixed but the crowd go absolutly wild and thats the fun part!

  • So I have stayed here twice. First time, I stayed in the mixed dorm. Had the best hostel experience ever. Staff and guests are amazing, still keep in touch with friend I me there from Ireland, England, and Australia. Prices are good for hostel prices, bunk beds were efficient. Second time i stayed, I got a private room with my bf. the messed it up and gave us 2 sets of bunk beds instead of a big bed for the two of us, even though we made paid reservations.

    Overall, I greeeat hostel! They had regular bbq's, karaoke nites, and beer partys. The basement has a jazz club, with locals playing there all the time. Middle floor has the resto, pretty, charming, with great music and good food. It's located right by Central Park, so that was really delightful. Has amazing terrases and rooftops that you can hang out on any time of day or nite to socialize and make new friedns from around the globe. Whole hostel has great paintings done by the staff.

  • 1st stay :
    room 303 .
    housekeeping forget to clean the bed after somebody check out / before somebody check in .
    I have to change the sheet ... by myself .

    dirty floor , key card often broken .
    I have to go down stairs to ask them renew again and again .

    and the staff do not feel sorry .

    breakfast not bad .

    14-mix-dorm almost looks the same as 12-bed dorm . but the price is very different ( 17.95 / 30.68 USD ) .

    2nd stay:
    I check in 1hr before 11 AM because I have to attend class , they charge my card but do not let me leave my luggage , ( have to pay extra 4 USD for luggage room , so I prefer carry them via C train transfer W train to my classroom , not only late for class but also a terrible experience to transfer in 42nd street station )

    room 506 is clean . rooftop is nice and empty . no bagel this morning .

    I turned up here tired and hungry and before I knew it, someone had my backpack off my shoulders and a beer in my hand!!
    What more could an Aussie girl ask for.
    You feel like you know everyone as soon as you arrive and this is a big thing in a huge (no massive) city such as New York.
    Beds are clean and bathrooms are good and private.
    Be prepared to stay up late drinking beer, eating chicken and listening to cool tunes.

    $5 beer and chicken night!!

  • I've stayed here a couple of times, not a bad hostel for the price, facilities are ok but seemed beter in the summer. Rooms varied considerably in quality especially if you were put in the second building but if you just need a bed then its fine. Location is great for uptown and is easy to find.

    Very close to central park
    also close to columbia university so there is pretty reasonable nightlife within a 15 min walk.

  • It was a place very cheap and safe in NY. It is in Central Park, there is touristic information and orientation if you need to know about bus, trains . I shared room with 14 people but I didn´t have any problems with that. You have to wake up early if you wanna have breakfast , and there are some parties to,. The only one porblme is that I didn´t get the messages of my flight! so dont´t trust the receptionist :)

  • This hostel is in a really good spot in Manhattan. It was so easy to get around to every touristy spot. Metro is really close. Its a clean facility. They have a nice lounge area where its really easy to meet a lot of international travelers. Everyone there was really nice and really helpful.

    Well mix bag really, i loved the people there, they helped out heaps. The people staying there where also great fun! People from all over the world. lol it was also funny to have over 20 Australian's from the Sydney Dance Group there. It was like we where still at home. The bed qlty wasnt to flash, expect mix dorms. We were there while in renovation mode so its hard to give a proper account of the place. I dont want to put a sour taste on the place but one lady did get massive bites after a nights sleep. That was a bit weird but besides that is great. Free breakfast, place to keep ya bags safe.
