10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
The front desk staff was very kind and welcoming. The building was well-maintained and clean. Other than hot water not coming out from the shower during my first day, I would say I thoroughly enjoyed my experience (they quickly resolved the issue though). Staying at the hostel is also a great way to meet new people since you share a room with others. The hostel puts on a lot of events as well. For example, when I was there, the Knicks were playing in the finals, so they played the game in the lobby. It was a very lively environment since people from outside the hostel also came to watch the game. Overall, I would highly recommend this hostel.

Their lobby and rooftop with view of the skyline and bridge are nice, staffs are very helpful and rooms and common area are very clean. There are not many restaurants and cafe super close or perhaps I missed finding (there are multiple food trucks) but that is not needed as you can bring food from Manhattan and Jackson Heights (train at 6 min walk from the hostel), store in the fridge and heat up. Some people smoked on the rooftop 1 evening during the music event is when I had to leave the rooftop because I can't stand smoke. Otherwise everything was nice and I hope to book again.
