Reviews and Ratings
My room overlooked the courtyard where staff talked loudly early in the morning, and the aircon made a loud screeching noise from 4 pm until I checked out the next day. This might not be ideal for those planning to stay up late at night, especially considering the similar prices for rooms in the area.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean, but lacking some essential furniture like a table and hooks on the wall. The location was convenient, close to Central Park and a Metro stop. The dining area was a bit far from the rooms. Despite some flaws, I appreciated the value for money this hostel offered.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient, close to Central Park and the subway, but the room was not what I expected, dark and industrial, with no cold water in the lobby. The service was a blend of helpfulness and rudeness, and the dining options were disappointing. However, the hotel's affordability and proximity to Central Park could be seen as positive points.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience with some pros like the convenient location near Central Park but also facing challenges such as the lack of an elevator to reach the rooms on the 5th floor. The atmosphere was generally pleasant due to the friendly service, but encountering issues with blackmail regarding luggage soured the stay.
My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable but had a persistent smell of rotting garbage. The service staff were friendly, although the nighttime staff seemed more welcoming than the daytime crew. The location was excellent, near Central Park and Columbia University, offering easy access to different parts of New York. The dining experience was underwhelming, with minimal food options provided. However, the facilities were satisfactory, making the overall stay somewhat enjoyable.
The hostel had clean rooms but lacked proper blankets and encountered noisy air conditioning. The staff's service was mixed, with some helpful members but lacking overall friendliness.

Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hostel is conveniently located near Central Park and the Upper West Side of Manhattan, with excellent access to the metro. The service is professional, but lacks personal attention. The dining options are limited, and the 'Continental Breakfast' is basic. However, the rooms are spacious and cozy.
The hostel offers a mixed experience with great location near Central Park and Columbia University but suffers from a week-long smell of rotting garbage in the room. The staff are friendly after dark but robotic during the day. The dining area encourages social interactions but lacks variety in food options. The facilities are convenient with laundry services available for guests.
The hotel is located on the fifth floor, close to Central Park, with ample plugs in the rooms for easy device charging. The service was friendly, but some issues were encountered regarding undressing to shower. The location is fantastic, near the heart of the city but isolated from the hustle and bustle. However, the dining experience, limited to a simple 'Continental Breakfast,' was disappointing.
