A standard hostel without any frills. My only complaint would be that a toilet remained unusable and dirty my whole stay but we all basically ignored it.
Great hostel, close to lots of transportation
Big lockers and comfy beds with lights and outlets.
Incredible deal for NYC

It's one of the few places in NYC that is cheap. But don't expect any privacy or more than a few hours sleep each night. Also filled with rude Ukrainians atm
