Overall, it was acceptable. There was no way to charge my phone at my bed except USB A, which I don't have. There was also minimal privacy, as there were no pod panels, and the curtains only covered half of one side (useless, really). However, they recognize this shortcoming is due to NYC admin, not the hostel itself. Perhaps it will improve soon. Oh, and my bathroom light didn't work.
In the end, the convenience and cleanliness of the property is hard to beat. I just think it could be better for the price.
