Liked: I liked a lot that the hostel is very close to the center. It takes only 5 minutes to get to the time square. great subway connections. very friendly stuff, rooms are a mean to an end.

Disliked: I am a girl and at my first night I got a 50 year old roommate and he was raly strange. I had a 2 bed room. i was really afraid of him. if girls don't like to share with boys than you should book a hostel were it's possible to book a womensromm only!

Liked: Excellent location 5 minutes from times square, great friendly staff, nice 2 floored dorm with its own kitchen!

Disliked: lockers in the dorm would be the only improvement, and on day 2 my bed had been stripped but not remade which is a bit odd. I'd suggest either stripping and remaking or just leaving it.

Liked: location was fab, supermarkets near by so we could by supplies and room had fan so we were able to cool down after a hot day.

Disliked: having to walk to a separate block for our accomodation, having to take our used bedding back to the office when we checked out (so carrying them down the street, as well as our bags), having people walk through our room to get to their rooms.

Liked: location, location, location

Disliked: i booked very late and they were the only ones still available for the whole time, so i stayed there in an apartment with other travelers, one block away from reception, kitchen and the small common area... though it was quite nice (not the cleanest but acceptable) for a solo traveller that's bad because meeting people was a lot more difficult like that.. furthermore i had mostly really annoying roommates... some extremely messy, others noisy all night long and there was nobody to put them in their place, no night watchman or similar..

Liked: Apart from the initial discontent I was pleased about its location. I made some very interesting people in the dorm, its inevitable, the space is dense and small.

Disliked: The noise from the streets are unbearable, and window don't seal completely.
