Great location but this is very barebones. The hallway smelled like a nursing home.

Clean but sparse furnishings, but that's what I wanted. I didn't go to NYC to spend all my time in a hotel room. Easy check in, great cardio room, quiet, clean bathrooms. Close to Lincoln Center, Central Park, Columbus Circle. I will stay here again.

Room is good but pillow is very uncomfortable. Three bathroom stalls but only one closes, three shower stalls but only one has decent pressure. One night I had to shower with no hot water. Front desk won’t call you a taxi and you have to pay $4 dollars per bag for them to keep it if you come early for check out

I like that you can check in at anytime after 3, I used the hotel because I worked that day and I did not want to commute to NJ. However unable to sleep cause it was noise all night. In the morning around 8-‘when I wanted to shower to get ready for work both bathroom in same floor were being clean so they did not allow people to shower in that floor they wanted us to go to 9 th floor.. it’s unacceptable that they wait to clean the bathrooms at a rush hr time when people get ready to leave… also showers dirty when i tried to shower before bed time .. the location is perfect !

Easily the worst hostel I have ever stayed at. Floors of the room were filthy. Hallways stunk. There was poop all over the washrooms. I know it’s a hostel and standards aren’t going to be the highest and I come knowing that but I figured at least bare minimal cleanliness standards would be at least slightly met. No issues with the staff I interacted with but I had very little interaction with them. If you’re looking to stay at a hostel, spend a little more and try the International Student Center.

Very well located, it's a very strategic home base for someone that wants to be in the heart of NYC but also not in the middle of all the chaos. My only comment would be that I stayed for 6 days and no one attempted to do house cleaning in my room.

The vibe of this place is closer to homeless shelter than hotel. The location is great, but it just feels generally sketchy.

This is an amazing place to stay! Wonderful gym facilities and beautiful pool. I loved access to steam room and sauna. Extremely handy for Lincoln Centre and NYPL. And right on Central Park. Also appreciated that the subway station nearby was accessible, so great for luggage moving. Might have been an off evening for someone but check-in was not particularly friendly or welcoming. But I was delighted overall.

I will be very short: I paid for a room with a bathroom, and I was given a room with a shared bathroom. My room had trash from previous guests, not only in the trash can but also on the table; when I unfolded the bed, I noticed that they didn't change the bedding. For this price I could've gotten something cleaner.
