    The place has loads of space to chill, free WiFi and beer and check-in , the staff is super nice and the vending machines are decently priced. Rooms are quiet and clean.

    Really great hostel! The mattress is thicker than mine at home. The staff are friendly but not pushy. Hannah was a joy while I propped up the bar. Clean. Hot showers. What more do you need?

    Really good hostel. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Free wi-fi works great, even in the rooms. Good location, a subway hop from Manhattan, but out of the husstle and bustle. Recommended.

    A good hostel with a knowledgeable staff and the private room was much nicer than I expected.

    Very clean, good rates. You get a free drink at the bar downstairs, too! Though wasn't fond of how the noise from the bar carried into the room.

    The lobby bar/coffee shop is a great place to work - drinks, snacks, wifi, and tons of outlets.

    Rooms were very dusty, beds were not comfortable & clean. Neighborhood is not a perfect place. Far from city Manhattan. No elevators, lousy atmosphere. On top of all, really expensive!

    They don't allow you to bring in beers from the store forcing you to buy booze from their bar. Otherwise good.

    Konum olarak Queens’de ve metroya yürüme mesafesinde Manhattana 3-4 durak E metrosuyla 10 dakikada gidebilirsiniz.Sıcak bir ortamı var çalışanlar güleryüzlü. Kışın bazı odaları soğuk bilginiz olsun.

    Regular. Le falta elevador. limpio el primer día ya que no sacuden tu cama ni la tocan hasta que te vas Sí sólo buscas dejar tu maleta y descansar un poco. El Internet muy lento.
