The hotel is great located (close to the empire state building) and the atmosphere in the hotel is quite nice. But there are some very annoying things: You have to reload your keycard for the room every day; if you are lucky and get one of the rear locker, you always have to ask the staff to open the locker and there is just one bathroom in a 10 bed dorm... Good for one or two nights, but not more!

location is great, deco is nice, but not as special as i expected it after seeing their homepage. some people of the staff are more friendly some are not so nice...no lockers in the hotel, and the towels were only given to half of the peole in my dorm. if i will come back to ny i think i will stay there again.

Very pleasant feel about the place, felt very posh indeed for a hostel. The art and building decoration outside make it an amazing sight to come back to every night.

I cannot believe people would give this place a bad rating. Between visiting NYC three times and living there for 3 months another time, I think I can give a pretty secure opinion on this place and I thought it was fantastic. Sure, the air-con makes noise, big deal, I met lots of great people in my room, and we went out for dinner and clubbing too. The location is sooooo good!!! I will recommend this place to all my friends, and definately stay there again when I return to NYC. PS the lobby area is awesome.

Very beautiful hotel very artistic but too expensive for what it is... just go check outside and inside like a museum and stay at another place ;-) !

great location in midtown, funky deco, coolest looking building in nyc! cool that bands often come into lobby for night gigs, friendly staff (which is great in a big city) although concierge were a bit grumpy and not that helpful. Was cheap given the rate of other hotels and its location. If you're staying in a dorm, ask for dorm 233 as it is much more spacious than the adjacent 236. clean rooms and bathrooms, given towels and soap. No lockers though and they allow locals to stay (which takes away the fellow traveller respect). also they have wifi but it is $10 for a day! is more of a hotel than hostel--there is no real communal area. i will go back there again.

Location is fine but that's all... Place looks a little bit different but nothing so much interesting. Some of the staff were helpful but not all of them. Room was too small.

Staff was fun and so willing to help when needed. Found our bedroom and bathroom nice and clean, beds comfortable, towels fresh and fluffy. Lobby area funky, public restrooms clean, pretty comfortable seating areas. Location central to Manhattan, walking distance to main attractions and close to bus and subway service. Loved it! Will return!
