Liked: Seemed clean and the façade is beautiful.

Disliked: We felt very insecure, we booked a room for 8 people and we were given a 10 beds dorm to share with a drunk homeless. Bedbugs. No facilities. The atmosphere was horrible: it was almost empty (not even employees) and most of the people around looked like hobos. It is located in the residencial part of Little Italy, so the area wasn't very interesting either. We changed for a USA hostel and the difference was incredible, much better.

Liked: John was fantastic

Disliked: The other gentlemen I believe the night manager I did not care for played loud music at night when I was trying to sleep and one of the regular guests kept hogging the tv and was rude about it

Liked: Close to the airport

Disliked: CREEPY atmosphere it is more like a half way home for drifters then a hostel. BEDBUGS i got savaged by the bastards not happy at all my arms look like they had been ravaged by Jaws. Not a fun place to hang out as there is no one there at all....although it does have potential as it has a lot of space.
