This s an unusual place. The rooms are like little cubby holes. Absolute no frills. Just a bed. But comfortable. There is no ceiling, so one hears every snorer, and sounds. But the rooms are safe. Checking in was

You basically pay the price for the location. The room is only for a small bed. You could hear all the sounds of the whole floor, no noise canceling.

Perfectly fine .. door slamming not funny
The Hostel Was Perfectly Fine the only Criticism i have as Regarding about the Noise levels i think its ridiculous that u can be fined £100 and asked to vacate the property even thought all the door locks and slammi g of the doors isnt quiet and had actually ruined my sleep for the 2 nights ... with constant banging of doors at 7-8am

Exceeded expectations
Booked a last minute trip to NY during Christmas, and this was all I could find that wasn't $1k+ a night, so I wasn't expecting to much. This place is awesome. The room was much better than I thought, yeah the ceilings are open, but it's whatever. I LOVED the septate men's and women's floors it made me feel very safe. The line for the bathrooms gets a little crowded in the am, but it's whatever. The location is perfect! I walked around and solo at all different times and always felt safe. It's like a 5 min walk to Little Italy, and like 10 mins to China Town. Nice and clean, very cute decor.

its okay for a hostel and low price
It was very clean. I was on the 4th but spent time on the 3rd. The male person that worked did come into the womens area, and looked at me crazy when i told him it was womens only. It was rude (dark skin black guy with short twist hair). I would stay here again if I couldnt find anyplace else. Didnt like the 4 flights of stairs no elevators, but all was doable.

Stay Away - Book Elsewhere
I was charged an extra $50 at check in. The co-ed "rooms" are a hallway row of padlocked closets with a "mattress" on a steel bed frame. The ceiling is lattice fence covered in burlap material. There is no noise/ talking & headphones must be used on devices or be charged a $100 noise fee. No food or drink allowed in "room". The common area is folks sleeping in chairs and sofa to be out of their claustrophobic enclosures. The mens bathroom has 1 toilet stall which is ironically larger than your room. Next to it are 2 narrow shower spaces with thin plastic curtains across from two small sinks and 2 small mirrors. Absolutely no privacy especially when theres a line behind you or your having to wait in line. Book at another hostel/ hotel. This one is noth woth the time or money
Can be fined if you make any noise with lattice & burlap ceiling

Great stay!
I’ve stayed in several hostels and this one far exceeded my expectations. The smallness of the room was totally fine! Bathrooms always clean. Nice kitchen was also clean. Felt very safe there. Loved being on the female only floor. Comfortable sitting in the living room in my pajamas!

SOLO TRAVEL ON A BUDGET.
PRO: Great for solo travelers. It was the cheapest I found during New Years week. The front desk & virtual staff were very friendly. It was safe. Great location. Very homie feel. CON: the room was a literal box. The beds are too small. If you have big luggage you can’t move it around. The bathroom was dirty at times.

This was my first time staying at a hostel. I liked the option for an affordable rate, and really liked how the common areas were decorated as well as the entertainment provided in the lobby. The only issue I had was that the bathrooms could have provided more soap, shampoo, and washcloths for their guests. I assumed that would be available, however it was only one bottle of soap/shampoo in the showers (that was empty) and a single bath towel.
