The hostel is conveniently located near Central Park, making it easy to explore the area. However, the rooms felt cramped and not well-maintained, which was disappointing. The breakfast was minimal, and the overall service left much to be desired, especially during emergencies. It's a mixed bag, making it hard to recommend wholeheartedly.

My experience at this hostel was quite mixed. On the positive side, I really enjoyed the excellent location near Central Park and the friendly atmosphere created by the events and activities organized by the staff. However, the lack of cleanliness in the bathrooms and the issues with booking and service left much to be desired. Overall, while the price was affordable, I would consider other options for my next stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hostel. While the proximity to Central Park was a nice perk and the staff was friendly, I faced issues like a lack of hot water and bedding problems. Additionally, the breakfast options were quite limited, which was disappointing given the price I paid.

The hostel is located in a prime area, just steps from Central Park, which is fantastic for outdoor enthusiasts. While I enjoyed the vibrant community vibe and the social activities organized by the staff, the room I stayed in was quite noisy, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, I found the Wi-Fi unavailable in the bedrooms quite inconvenient. Overall, it's a decent place to stay if you're looking for affordability, but you may encounter a few drawbacks during your stay.

The hostel boasts a great location, just a stone's throw from Central Park and conveniently close to the subway. While I found the rooms to be generally clean, they lacked a bit of comfort and amenities. The social atmosphere was disappointing as there were limited activities to engage with other travelers, which is often what you look for in a hostel experience. Overall, the price reflects the NYC market, but I believe there are better hostel options available.
