I would never ever say in this hostel again. It was awful. We paid more money for 3 days than is realistic for a NYC hostel and when we got into the room it had a bunk bed and NOTHING ELSE> awful. When I went to complain, the manager was unavaliable, and they would not return the money.

Me and my traveling buddy booked the hostel through a travel agent, our only requests were that we did share a room with others. The room was very basic, a bunk bed and a bin. The sheets on the bed were not thick at all, requested more and was handed two moth eaten blankets. We decided not to use these... More

Before I checked in I read every review here on Trip Advisor. I honestly was scared to find a dirty room and bathroom with... bed bugs! I expected a terrible stay. However, I was surprised to find a neat and clean individual room with a clean shared bathroom. I recommend it for its perfect location and affordable price. I don't... More

I arrived at the hostel hours before check-in time, and I was able to put my bags in a locker and check my email at one of the lobby computers, and then it was a quick walk around the block to the subway. When it came time to check-in, the front desk was friendly and quick, although they had some... More

The locaion was really great, close to the subway, close to a nice... More

Arrived at the hostel and was told nothing. The girl on the desk was really unfriendly. Told me my room was on the 2nd floor and nothing else. Didn't tell me about the TV room in the basement - took me two days to find out it was there. Got to my room and it was a smallish room with... More

Just arrived after a long flight from the uk!! Very ignorant staff!! Place smells!! Full of creepy people!! Room disgusting!! No tv or sink or plug, stains on the walls, dirty bedding!! Burst into tests and wishing I was on next flight home!! Awful awful!!!

The Romanian guy at the front desk was incredibly rude, the rooms filthy and roaches running freely. Bathrooms were smelly and filthy as well. Stay away from this creepy dive. They prey on foreigners who are vulnerable.

You should know what you are in for if you make a reservation at a hostel. Don't expect fancy shmancy. Don't expect clean. Don't expect red carpets. Chocotat's location can't be beat and for the price this is the place to stay. Workers are friendly enough and somewhat helpful. Place is in need of a SUPER cleaning; doesn't seem that... More
