Great find!
This place is cool and clean. Traveling solo but would be ideal for a group of friends, too. The staff were welcoming and chill. Got a coffee at the bar this morning and sipped it on the rooftop, gorgeous view! Arrived late to check in (midnight) but this was fine - I was welcomed in, no problem. Bed was comfortable (upper bunk), shower was strong and hot. There was a show happening sometime in the night - loud music from a nearby place- but to be expected on a weekend in the city.

Pro: Very clean and a great set up. Safe. Staff is excellent. Con: With on site bar, loud noise long into night. Rooms are hot, although the AC was not turned on because of others in the rooms preference.

Best budget stay in NYC!
It was a super comfortable stay for a short stopover in New York City. Super close to a lot of the best attractions and restaurants at an excellent price! I’ll definitely go back we

2/10 Poor

I would have never booked this had I known there would be a rooftop concert on the roof of the hostel building late into the night. I’m in my 60s and couldn’t sleep at all, and had a long road trip the next morning.

Great location, and vibe
Location is wonderful and the view from the roof is amazing. After looking at what I spent per night, I am unsure if I think its "affordable" for just one bed, but perhaps thats just part of Brooklyn accommodation. I loved the common spaces, cafe and beer bar, and access to laundry was an added bonus.

8/10 Very good

Property is good for young travelers who can share a variety of activities. Requesting towels takes time to be provided as it depends on availability. Fridges are small showing traveler’s food packed in disorganized view. I could not put any food in due to lack of space. In general, it was a calm stay.
