Emplacement ok Espaces communs sympa

Pas toujours d'eau chaude dans la douche, les distributeurs de savons ne fonctionnaient plus Peu de lavabo, complique le matin pour se faire une place Beaucoup de bruit de la rue, le batiment n'est pas non plus insonorise par rapport au couloir

Good cafeteria inside the hostel. Close to public transport.

Unfortunately my opinion will be based on the fact that my stay was just after i stayed for a week in the HI Boston Hostel of the same chain. Unlike their partner there was no free coffee or breakfast. Employees were much ruder and non helpful (except the cleaning staff). I had to change my room after 3 days without previous notice (was informed on check-in). That meant that i had to repack my stuff, bring my bag to the reception, change keys, sign the form again and wait 04 hours between the room change (11am - 3pm - there was no room available for a direct change). Never had to deal with this before. They charge 05 dollars to keep your bag in the hostel after check-out (also a first timer). The fact that NY is expensive and probably full all the time probably means they dont care too much about customer service (except if you are in a large group of teenagers as there were a TON). If not for the name i would never guess that they are from the same chain of Boston. The difference is felt easily.

- Pods - pods with rolling doors allows for more privacy than bunk bends with curtains. they allow for full darkness which helps you sleep better after whole day of sightseeing. Additionally in the pod there is: a light and fan (both regulated, so you can dim them/adjust speed), mirror, 2 usb ports and other 2 regulators which I didn't explore. The sliding door in the pods don't lock (or at least I couldn't). Btw room has its own light with also has adjustable brightness. - Bathroom - you have a small bathroom in room for 6, so it should be easier to keep it tidy but you also have the option of a common bathroom in the corridor. A towel is prepared on your bed. - Location - right next to Central Park. Nice buildings around. Subway 2 blocks away (5min walk) - People - more mature. Small groups of 5 but respectful. Others travelled in 1-3s. They were 27+ - Rooftop - you can go on a rooftop but it's for the building's square. No amazing views but can go for a smoke if you do and need one. There is no drinking/smoking on hotel premises. - Bagel morning - off you wake up early enough you might catch a morning bagel with tea/coffee, some peanut butter, milk and cereal as a good start of the day. Yes, it's free.

- Blankets - you usually get just thin blanket and a bed sheet to match it. Can get cold, however I was fine. Not sure if you are cold though. Probably would have to go and ask the reception - No elevator - if you travel with a heavy bag, be prepared to carry it up the stairs to the 2-4 floor - Small lockers - lockers are best for document and other small things. Stuffing it with school bag might work but anything other than that won't fit. Buy a lock or bring one with you. Additionally, the room doesn't have that much space, so your case will be against the wall closed. - No personnel 24/7 - out of 3 nights, twice i arrived just after midnight. There was nobody at the reception. Had to rely on others to open the door for me.

La posizione

Soggiorno di 7 giorni con prenotazione di 5 mesi in anticipo mi hanno fatto cambiare 3 camere con relativi check-out e check-in. Gruppi di scuole che la notte non ti fanno dormire.

The hostel was at a walk-able distance from the Line 1 Subway, Easy to get in and out. Clean facilities and a huge kitchen facilities. The idea of breaking the ice and talk to other users. Planned activities, like the tour with Phil to Tribeca. Other similar activities were included. Convenient corner-shops on Amsterdam Av to get food. Big individual LOCKERS in the dormitory. Clean areas and bilingual staff.

Perhaps the insuficient number of MALE facilities in the 2nd floor compared to FEMALE and ALL GENDER. I think the 1st floor of the building might have had more additional male facilities.

La ubicación es muy conveniente y cerca del metro.

LA habitación tenía poca ventilación, estaba bien el clima pero con 10 personas se encerraba el calor.

Muito bem localizada, limpa e organizada. Foi uma experiência incrível!

Nem todos os chuveiros funcionava a água quente, fui no inverno e isso me prejudicou bastante.

Localização boa, atividades em grupo e festas de boas vindas as segundas e quintas feiras, isso faz as pessoas fazerem amizades, conheci pessoas incríveis

Atendimento na recepção pouco cordial, quarto raramente era limpo e os chuveiros não esquentavam.
