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.

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
