It's not quiet, the doors in the hallway are loud. The shower area is very small and the drain is clogged.

Literally the best place to spend the night. The staff is so welcoming, and super friendly. This is my third time staying at Kama and it’s the best decision every single time. The bathrooms are always clean, very affordable and comfortable. Love Kama!

Highly recommend!!

Best place to stay in Manhattan for a budget traveler, close to two subway stations and next to Central Park. Fast connections to the rest of New York tourist attractions.

Affordable and convenient option, they were doing some kind of construction so it was a little loud after 8am but otherwise other guests were very quiet at night. Pod beds were comfortable and it was nice to have the added privacy. I enjoyed that there was a coffee shop on the property.

The location was quiet enough to get a good night's sleep, and all the other guests seemed respectful of that. Appreciate the desk being staffed by approachable, helpful people all through the day and night. It's a great location for the subway downtown in no time, but also for access to the park. Good to come back in the early evening after a crazy day out and about, get changed and go jog in Central park, just a minute away, come back, warm shower and head a few blocks over to loads of restaurants and bars.

Great place. I stayed at HI Hostel the night before, and I prefer the completely enclosed 'pods' at Kama and how it locks, so it can also act as your luggage storage. Only issue I had was that there are ONLY two USB ports inside the bunk, and they both seemed broken - they would not charge my phone fast enough and it died while charging.

Overall I really enjoyed staying at Kama. The capsule bed gave privacy, with a private bathroom inside the room, and a another shared shower & toilet outside. There was a locker in the room. Stayed in the 2nd floor so didn't need to walk up a lot of stairs. The shared kitchen was a bit messy/dirty, but that's more up to the guests to make sure they clean after themselves. The location was great, with subway a few minutes away, and right next to central park. Will definitely stay again when visiting nyc.

Disliked: Cleanliness
My stay at the hostel was not the most comfortable. At check-in, I requested a different room code, but the front desk agent refused to accommodate my request, leaving me frustrated and uneasy. Additionally, my roommate had noticeable hygiene issues, which made the shared space unpleasant—strong odors, particularly from their feet, made resting difficult. While the hostel itself had the basics covered, better customer service and improved cleanliness in shared spaces would have made the stay more enjoyable.

Got stuck with a snorer above me, but somehow they have an air system in the pod that sounds like a white noise which was able to help me sleep. I also didn’t have a towel in my pod (you get a linen/thick sheets, pillow and towel), but the front desk was so amazing about it and corrected the issue right away! He was super awesome. Front desk is very friendly and helpful.
