This is a really cheap and good Hostel in the heart of Manhattan, like the best you can find. But what amuses the most is the location: just in front of the MSG, ten minutes walking from times square, the real pulsing heart of the Big Apple. I couldn't have asked better.

I STAYED THERE IN APRIL, 2009. It's a simple hotel, but it's very well located. Near to Penn Station, Madison Square Garden, Macys, Empire State Building. The staff is nice and friendly. The hotel is clean. I stayed in a bedroom with a shared bathroom and i didn't have problem. The bathroom was always cleaned. There is no breakfast but... More

I spent one night in a two-bed dorm for only $40, which is an absolute minimum for NYC. The hotel is situated perfectly in midtown NYC, subway sand Penn Station a few minutes walk. Staff is very friendly and helpful: they printed my boarding pass and helped to get around in NYC. The room is nothing special, but clean and... More

I spent one night here in May 12 before joining a friend to move upscale for the rest of my trip. NYC rooms were in demand and I was curious to try something budget when I didn't have the rest of the family in tow! So I booked one night in a single room, pay on arrival deal and checked... More

The location is perfect, right next to madison square garden, the metro station, theres a 24h shop where you can buy snacks and a subway...There is no lift, so if you have a lot of luggage its a bit hard to get up to the reception. The general manager was very... More

I booked into a 4 bed girls dorm and didn't have the greatest experience, but this was largely due to the room mates and their complete lack of consideration. The room was clean, though small. The bunk beds make a lot of noise when you move, as do the floorboards. The water never got truly hot and the pressure was... More

Spend a couple of nights here as I needed a cheap room for myself, but with ensuite bathroom. Ok for a couple of nights. I actually booked a larger room (suite they called it) which would even been good for 5 persons (good deal, so wanted space, couch etc). Instead they gave me a normal one (they asked with how...
