The pod itself has a wooden sliding door and it can feel a bit stuffy. Just something to consider.

Very helpful staff, privacy, everything you need in your pod (light,USB charger, outlet, air fan). Bagel in the morning. Close to public transportation to downtown. Good neighborhood. I felt safe alone at 9 when it was dark as a female.

The noise of the air circulation inside the pod was too loud, the size of the lockers is way too small, no elevator

I liked the position, the bed comfort and the staff

The kitchen is tiny and in the basement. Area to sit down is on the first floor. It does look like they are in the process of building a cafe in the common area.

Great location. Nice people.

Breakfast was included but I had barely a coffee because all the bagels were always out of stock by the time I went to have breakfast (8-9 a.m.) so maybe they are not enought for all the clients and the little room underground is so small and creepy. At the reception there isn't always someone for check-in and check out, I had to go finding someone to let me collect my backpack that I stored in a locked room.

Location non very central but in front of one of the entries of Central Park and 3 minutes walking to the metro station. Very easy to enter the building, it's always open. I liked the privacy and the cleaned bathroom inside the dormitory. Very usefull the common area and the tank with free water.

Room quite small no room to open or store cases.

Loved the pods

Lack of space to close my baggage. Long distance between kitchen and place where I can eat.

My own space - closed bed. Silence in the room. Room dedicated only to women.

The pods do not lock, they do have a system to lock, but it doesn't work. Small lockers are not big enough to store a regular carry on.

The location was exceptional, close to the subway, and right next to Central Park.

The showers were extremely small, 2x2 feet. There were no paper towels in the bathroom which was used by many ladies at once, so the counter was always really wet and you couldn’t set anything on it. You had to use your one towel for everything. One towel for FIVE DAYS. They wouldn’t even give me an extra pillow to prop up in bed, so I had to use my rolled-up clothes. Even though I never let it touch the floor or my feet I contracted RINGWORM ON MY FACE. This means it was either already in the towels, or on the walls where the towel hooks were. Imagine starting a new job the following week with a fungal infection on your face. I’m still trying to get rid of it. The breakfast was personally disappointing because it was only bagels, cream cheese, and coffee (I can’t eat bread, and I’m allergic to dairy and coffee.) it would have been nice to have some fruit. There were also a LOT of fees, making the rooms seem very affordable at first, but ultimately I think we could have stayed at a hotel for not much more. I was on the women’s floor but one morning I walked into the bathroom to find a male custodian. I was in my underwear. There was no mention of when the bathrooms would be cleaned or by who. Also the beds are not for tall people. The tallest member of of group (6’ 2”?) said his head and feet touched the ends of his bunkbed.

I liked the privacy and quietness of the pods, and how you could adjust temp and lighting and charge your phone. I appreciated there being lockers in case you had to room with a stranger. The location was great with restaurants, bodegas, and the park nearby. I liked that they took our photos for safety.

The only problem was that there were some ants next to the window but the staff said they are already trying to do something against it and there were only a few..

The pods were really cool because youvgot way more privacy then in other hostels. They were also comfortable and big enough. The steaff was super nice!

I came to New York specifically to sleep in the POD and was not disappointed. However, the ladder to the top bunk is dangerous. I missed a step, failed, and sprung my finger. There were no face cloths or bath towels. Transportation from the Amtrak train station costs $60 by Uber. It is cheaper to use the subway, which only costs $3.25.

The POD is a unique sleeping unit; I love the high-tech panel. The place is very secure and clean. The folks are friendly.

- when you are in a 4 people room - there s always risk of noise by people coming in the room at night or preparing their luggage cause they leave hotel during night - 1st night was terrible loud cause of a guy who started to prepare his luggage from 23 to 2 am, was phoning... and left at 4 am, ... 2nd-4th night it was fine = hostel should communicate this - that people should be aware of this - its up to the people you share the small room - there s no lift - so if you are on 4 th floor with luggage its a challenge - air condition is old and loud - so if you have a thin sleep - bring your ear plugs - small ockers but with no lock = u ve to bring ur lock = all your valuables, money, camera... u ve to take with you

+ Location - its 20 meters located from Central park, safe clean area + next Metro stop is just a 150 meter walk + very nice, friendly reception welcome, beautiful reception area , + quick check in-out, nice main room to stay, and eat or watch tv, free water + luggage storage for free + free bagel-coffee breakfast + stabil WIFI + mixed age people - which is very nice and diverse + small but free kitchen area with all facilities and equipment to cook + nice hidden condo

There is no shampoo, conditioner or body wash available, you need to bring your own. No hair dryer too.

The bed and its design. Breakfast (bagel, coffee, tea) is decent and enough, and there is a small kitchen for everyone.

There wasn't a great variety breakfast food. Storage in frigate was impossible due to disarrangement of food old and new. Most of the rooms on the top floor were top bunk bed more for senior citizens.

location was important to me for traveling and this hostel did not disappoint. The room was a good size with locker for personal items. Had to ask for an extra blanket for the night due to air conditioning.

Stayed in May 2024

Was surprised about the limited locker space for a hostel, maybe just an NYC thing though, and was easy to make it work.

The free breakfast was a great addition, the staff were lovely. The pod bed system is cool too!

Breakfast was OK!

Room size very small with large suitcase. Tiny kitchen to store food or get breaky nowhere to sit in kitchen but they had a common area upstairs so was ok.

Cheaper side for NYC … free bagels, female only dorm, good security and location.offered to store our bags for long period which was a great service overall.

Didn't like the kitchen. It's hard to bring stuff from kitchen to dining area.

I liked the room.

I can't complain about anything, only thing I didn´t like is that it is a bit far from Times square and the central attractions downtown.

I stayed only for a night because I was there for travel, however the place was perfectly located 2 blocks from the subway, 1 block from central park, quiet, very clean and the staff very helpfull.

there is no elevator, lack of cleanliness, I saw cockroach.

The staff was very friendly and tried to help me anything I asked. they help you to keep your baggage until night without paying extra $

The overall cleanliness need improvement. The walls are thin, so you may hear someone next room. Breakfast is just so so.

Convenient and safe location. Close to restaurants and take away shops. Staff at reception for 24 hours. Great value.
