Art scene lovers delight!

The Italian Deli on Kenmar was superb, lots of great restaurants, fabulous artisan pizza. Art galleries, including an incredible street art alley nearby are well worth visiting again. The staff really helped with subway directions and a lot more. The hotel reminded me of hotels in Europe where guests share some facilities.

I knew the rooms were tiny, but I didn't realize they had open ceilings, so you could hear everything from every other room. In addition the overhead lights were dim but never off. It was next to impossible to sleep. The lounge was nice, though, and the location was good.

Second time staying here and it’s still great. Great staff and it’s located around so many stores and restaurants. It’s also one of the most affordable places in NYC so I definitely recommend it to everyone.

A guest brought in a guest and was noisy; Snoring next cubicle which disturbed my sleep as rooms are not sound proofed; of course the hotel would not know such.

I love NYC !

Anything you need is a short walk away. I had a medium sized cubicle. Bed was comfy… good sheets…good pillows. I slept well. Be ready for LOTS of stairs… and depending on your location in the building, a walk to the bathrooms. The common areas and kitchens are very comfortable and there are people from all over the world to visit with. There is a “ quiet” rule enforced, but it was a very tranquil environment so NOT a complaint. I am almost 70 and had a GREAT time there.

The facilities were kept clean. Staff was friendly. Subways were nearby. The only linens I got were a sheet. My trip was in late September so it was still pretty warm, so I was good with just the sheet. Idk if they have any other blankets for colder months. The neighborhood was chill. Decent amount of bars and restaurants/eateries nearby if you didn’t want go out to far from the hostel at night.
