Safe and good location, in the Upper West Side. Close to the subway stop. Other guests were very nice, and there was mostly a very good atmosphere among the guests and the staff.

Location is very good, nice area. Very close to Central Park. Staff very nice and helpful. Building old & rooms quite small - a typical hostel, but really ok!

Good location, but no luggage lockers and not allowed to keep bags in your room, had to take out only the stuff that you needed for the night. Very basic accommodation.

The hostel is very close to the subway. It has the internet, a good common room with good kitchen facilities and a clean bathroom. Hot showers 24/7 are great!

The location is superbe and it's also a very relaxed place to be. You can hang out, rest and watch t.v. and even make nice things in the handy kitchen. To recommend!

I found the staff to be very friendly, whether they were helping me check in/out, find my way around the city (helping with subways, etc.), looking up movie times, recommending restaurants, and so on. The hostel's location is perfect, its kitchen is great, and the downstairs/basement area is very relaxing/fun.

The location was very comfortable. Then, the fact that there wasn`t curfew is a plus too: you can leave the hostel and be back whenever you want. The guy at the front desk was very helpful from the very beginnig of my staying.

the hostal is located in a good area of the city, with a supermarket near by, and the subway station 1 minute walk, with acsess to the C and B lines, that can get you anywhere. whan i was there it wasent to much of a "party atmosphere" going on, but it might change depanding on the pepole. all and all, defintley recommnding it , and might come back my self.

I was at this hostel 3 years ago, it was better the first time. Maybe, the staff don't speak really with travellers, it's just a job for them. They don't try to speak slowly and clear english. I know that it's N-Y accent, but I think that young hostel must be internationnal everywhere.
