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.

The location is excellent, being near Central Park and Columbia University and within walking distance of the subway station. The proximity to these attractions is a definite plus, especially for the relatively low price of a two-bed room.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much provided for dining beyond basic options like a donut, orange, and tea or coffee. If you're looking for a communal dining experience, this may not be the place.

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.

The room on the 5th floor was clean and had an AC unit set up through the window. However, the absence of an elevator made it tough to carry luggage upstairs.

The hotel's location by Central Park was its highlight, offering easy access to the subway and attractions nearby. However, the 'Continental Breakfast' was limited to just a donut and beverages, which was disappointing.

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 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.
