The staff is very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. My flight to NY was canceled and I notified Kama so I wouldn’t be marked as a ‘no show’ and they were ready for me when I arrived the next day.

Bed and linens very clean and comfortable enough. Safe secure bldg. Old bldg=radiator blasts heat and no control over it. Code to room inexplicably stopped working;same for light in bathroom. Noise from slamming doors and metal lockers will prevent sleep; bring noise cancelling headphones.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was friendly, seamless checkin, loved my capsule (1 in 6 bed). There is no elevator but I lucked out not having to climb the stairs. Bring in the capsule took getting used to (5 ft 5) not too narrow like twin bed size. It was convenient to the subway station but note C & B trains do not run late (B) not on weekends which I didn’t realize. Great for a quick overnight and would highly recommend. The hearing got noisy here and there through the night but I appreciated the clean, safe environment plus private toilet for our room. The lockers in the room are small and space is tight. Luckily I pack light so not a problem for me.

Literally the best place to spend the night. The staff is so welcoming, and super friendly. This is my third time staying at Kama and it’s the best decision every single time. The bathrooms are always clean, very affordable and comfortable. Love Kama!

Disliked: Cleanliness

You'll get pretty much what you expect

The place is conveniently located, and the service in the cafe is friendly in the morning. The showers and bathrooms were quite clean for a hostel and in general people were super kind and accommodating. I had a few strange encounters with staff and some good ones. The floor of my shared room was pretty dirty, and I arrived the same day as the other person in my dorm so it didn't seem like it was clean prior to our arrival. however, the common spaces were fine.

Affordable and convenient option, they were doing some kind of construction so it was a little loud after 8am but otherwise other guests were very quiet at night. Pod beds were comfortable and it was nice to have the added privacy. I enjoyed that there was a coffee shop on the property.
