Clean bed and bedroom. Your roommates, well, it's a gamble really. My experience with the bathroom was great. Super clean! Yes, it is shared. But, felt as same as being in my gym. Nothing new, sharing a bathroom. Super happy that I can visit Manhattan on a budget again.

This was a new location in the city to stay for me and I had a really good stay. The only downside was the incredibly slow elevator which is really just knit picking as I had a really good experience.

Will go there again

Nice, quiet & considerate guests in my all-female 10-count room. Climate control seemed perfect. Front desk check-in was simple but thorough. The cafe is the Bomb. A local church tower with noon bells.

I paid for a 6 person dorm and was put in a 10 person one, which seemed unfair given 6 person was more expensive through Expedia. Location was good and the top bunks have a blackout curtain and a rail alongside them which makes them feel secure and private.
