  : Great location to explore NYC. Really liked the breakfast (bagels, really yummy fresh fruits, yoghurt, cereals, donuts).
  : a bit noisy (especially at night) because the windows are quite old

  : With a perfect location, easily connected to metro and several bus lines in NY, makes your stay quite enjoyable. Even though the street where the main entrance is a bit darker (poor light conditions during night), it is quite safe. The location could not be better for the price, with a 10 min walk you can reach the main metro lines. The conditions are what is expected. The room is quite small, with a small TV (poor connection), free internet and a small AC unit, bathroom is shared, which in this case is not a problem as there are several available in every floor so you won't feel it will be a problem. Main complain is the soundproof of the room as I could hear everything happening around and the fact that ehe window in the room where I stayed faced a wall (not a problem for me). There is no elevator which might be a problem for people traveling with heavier luggage or for people with reduced mobility. Staff members are amazing, always helpful and available which makes a big difference. Considering the location the price paid it is a good option even though it is pricey for what it offers.
  : No elevator for people with reduced mobility or carrying heavy luggage. Soundproof could be better.

  : Breakfast was very tasty, lots of fruits, bagels and cakes. Location is very central. Staff was amazing, very nice and helpful!
  : Bunk beds were a bit uncomfortable, the structure was not that stable. When one of us moved, it was very noisy as well.

  : Located in the heart of Manhattan, just minutes away from Madison Square Garden and with direct access to all the major attractions, I haven't used public transportation in 3 days. The staff were very accommodating and professional. There were large communal areas for breakfast and relaxation. The single room accommodation was pretty basic, but that’s to be expected with the rate you pay.
  : small shared bathroom

  : It is fairly priced simple place to stay. The staff was very nice. Breakfast was OK, room and the facilities as well.
  : The room was a bit noisy at night as the windows are not the best quality anymore and the street there has some traffic. Not too bad though.

  : The rooms were clean, there was a sort of working ac, which kept the room cool enough. Showers and toilets were also kept clean. Breakfast was nice as well.
  : The rooms were small, but that was expected, and the stairs are a little small to climb with a big suitcase.
