Liked: Under 2 minutes walk to the nearest subway station. Acceptable cleanliness in general, but if compared to other budget hostels, it's very clean.
Disliked: Luggages, which must be left with the reception (not allowed in dorm room), are not accessible once the reception is closed from 11pm till 8am the next day. No free Wi-Fi.

28 August 2011 Andrea would recommend this property
Liked: the hostel was close to central park, huge TV, short way to subway, bus, Central Park and supermarket.
Disliked: They have no elevator that’s because you had to keep your luggage in the front desk which was closed between 11 pm and 8 am. There were no lockers in the room. They had no Wi-Fi, only 10 Minutes Coupons per stay/person. It’s like the Stone Age? Every hotel/hostel has Wi-Fi. The lounge was O.K., the kitchen has lots of facilities, but it looked all very old and sleazy. It needs a renovation. Paraphernalia nobody needs is everywhere. Stuff didn’t give a friendly smile. Looked a bit bored.
