The hostel was very dirty, and nothing looked like the photos they posted online. They didn’t offer airport drop-off services as mentioned in the hostel information. There were no blankets or towels provided either. Very disappointing experience.

The staff at the hostel were great very helpful and friendly, the first day was abit of a nightmare toilets messed up and I had a cold shower, obviously someone had a bender and left a mess, all tidy in the morning, I had four great days and saved lots.

Staff were very welcoming and supportive, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a cheaper place to stay in Upper West Manhattan. One thing the beds could use is curtains, for privacy, and chargers, bunks like the latest Hostel International designs. I stayed in the private room during the week, so I'm not sure what the larger dorms are like.

When we go there they said they were overbooked. We did not even stay there. The place was very dirty though.
