I was there 3 nights and i was little disapointed. I arrive about 1.30 pm and wait one and half hour when they start to give rooms at 3.00 pm, ok this was not me problem. First i was 95th street and there kindly security woman show me route to lobby over the building, main entrance located 94th street. Hostel was renovated nicely and there was play hit music in lobby :) I has singleroom with shared bathroom. Room was really small, there was only bed and shelf in the room. Room seem more cellroom like a hostelroom. Internet connection was not free, this was one reason why i book this hostel. Now it cost 10 bucks / 24 hours and i am not ready to pay interet access so much. There was lot of use in bathroom, so sometimes it was very dirty. Bathrooms and corridors was also freezing cold at morning becouse there was windows open. If you want to use clean bathroom, best time take shower is before 8.00 am. Bed in the room was standard 90 cm width, not traditional 120 cm, it was also little bit uncomfortable, too hard to sleap and blanket was not best possible, but when you are walking all the day is not hard to get sleep. But what was the best, i didn't see any bedbugs, i was very lucky. When i read bedbug comments here i was little scary...I was there 3 nights and i was little disapointed.

When i read bedbug comments here i was little scary what is coming :) All the sounds hear here well over walls so sometimes there can be litlle bit noisy when peoples move to party and back to hostel at night, so maybe earplugs is not bad idea if you not sleep well? Location is good when you want to go example Central park, Harlem or Bronx. Also express trains 2 and 3 stops nearly station so metro is fast way to midtown. Ok, i know my comment is maybe little bit negative but becouse i live first week in hotel at 28th street what cost only 14 bucks more and here was normal size room and bed, daily cleaning etc... and location was much much better so this hostel was not best value for money, sorry :(More
