Q4 Hotel

It is a safe and pretty clean place to stay. I would consider staying there again if I was in a bind and needed a “cheap” place to stay. Check in was pretty easy but when I got into my room to my assigned bed, it was obviously used the top sheet was completely crumpled at the end of the bed. So went down stairs to ask for another and was told the other free beds in the room I could use I wasn’t assigned a new bed nor did anyone ever come up to check on the bed. They only provide a top sheet, no comforter or thicker blanket later found out you might have been able to check out a fleece and it was cold since it’s winter. I used my towel as a second blanket. Train platform is pretty close so if you’re a light sleeper, I recommend ear plugs, but makes getting around easy. The in room bathroom set up is a little awkward. Shower is an opaque glass door so your outline is there for all to see. And the toilet room in my room did not have any hooks or counter space to hold your things. Plus it was difficult to use the toilet with how close it was positioned to the wall. I wasn’t expecting luxury as I knew it was a hostel, but a little more communication about extra blankets or asking if I needed to rent a towel the towel mentioned above was my own would have bumped up my rating.

Absolutely no problems from check in to check out. Clean rooms, clean beds, clean bathroom and shower. I felt very safe and quite comfortable there. The staff was nice and they had extra blankets and towels ready if you needed them. There is a great little market right next door where you can grab anything you you'd like to eat or drink. Search Hudson Food Market for info. Located close to the subway entrances, this was a perfect place to stay and then catch the train wherever you need to go. The subway does cause an audible din so if you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs. It did not bother me in the least. Planet Fitness is super close if you need a workout. Overall, I do recommend this hostel. From teens to retirees, everyone is welcome.

Stayed here once in 2017 and again this past labor day weekend. The hostel was overbooked so we were given a private room with an extremely comfortable queen bed and the softest towels I’ve ever used! Bathroom is a bit small and plugs are in weird locations, but the room was absolutely perfect for our needs. Plus, the location is great.

Every single person that works reception is extremely rude, every time you ask them something it feels like you are inconveniencing them. Rooms are fine, except for the open ceiling window that makes you feel like you are sleeping on the train tracks. We were charged 10$ for 2 bags for luggage storage, when their website very clearly states 3$ per bag. Ludicrous to have to pay for the most basic service. Kitchen is clean. Pool cues are out-of-service. Overall nice place, but no regard for the customer.

Phenomenal... Stayed in November and forgot to post. I usually stay in Manhattan, but I was amazed. Its cute, quirky, quaint, and in a location with everything you need around; food, bodegas, gym, market. I kinda didn't travel outside of the bubble and made a bunch of friends. Simple, but large and cozy. Perfect wifi, bathrooms clean, and cozy. Got a little warm, but the great thing is we got to open the window. Will stay again, and would highly recommend!

The common room they have is really good, met a lot of people and had good fun there. The rooms themselves are okay, the main problem for most at the hostel was that the temperature controls were broken and needed constant attention from ownership. Room could get unbearably hot for some. Had good location though, subway was nearby and the ride to Manhattan was very short.

I stayed in their 6 person hostel for a week. During which I noticed several good and bad things about this hostel. The bad things I noticed were: nails in the floorboards protruded out of the floor and destroyed some of my socks, they do not provide extra blankets, pillows, or towels due to availability, no elevators, power outlets in my room were loose enough for my charge to repeatedly fall out, can hear quite a lot of road noise at night. The gold things I noticed were: the bathroom was cleaned several times a week, the community kitchen/lounge area is clean daily, near several subway stops, the environment felt safe, internet was really good 300mbps+ down/up, staff was friendly, hot showers, hostel lockers of decent size 60L, most importantly the price was good relative to local hotels. With so many good/bad things about this Hostel, I feel like this is a great place to stay if you just need a safe place to sleep at night.

Picked this hostel because it was rated as the best in NY area. But it's actually the worst we've ever been to. The showers are disgustingly dirty and full mold. The whole place has a funny smell. And since it's right next to the subway stations the noise can be too much at night. Of the three people I saw at the front desk during the week I was there, none was nice enough to be at a any hostel fron desk. The terminal didn't work the night we got there so we had to take cash out of the atm they have there and the stay ended up being far more expensive paying like that. It was not our problem but still had to fix it since the woman at the front desk wouldn't even bother to work it out. It was the only place where my card didn't work. It is conveniently located so everything is near enough, and the shower and toilet are inside the room, you can choose how many people you want to share with, there's that. Not a hostel I would recommend.

The rooms are fairly small for the price. No side-tables/tables in the room I stayed. The staff was not very welcoming and whatever it was asked of them they did it stiffly. They don't even care to be basically polite. The hostel doesn't provide basic amenities like drinking water! The toilet is separated from the sink and the shower. But everything is integrated in the room,so there is too much fuss whenever someone wants to use one of the three. The room was not sparkling clean but it was fairly clean, mainly the shower wasn't so clean. The AC made a terrible noise and didn't operate for warm air,only for cold, despite the temperature adjustment. Extreme noises from outsidee.g. trains,motorbikes due to the poor construction of the windows and possible multiple noises from inside e.g. snoring, the room is very small so 6 males in a room might be highly problematic.Conclusively,the hostel is located in a great location, very close to Manhattan,it is one of the cheapest options,especially if you want to avoid Bronx but I would totally avoid it if you are a light sleeper as me.

The two ladies at the front desk was quite rude and things were quite unsystematic. There wasn’t any security or privacy either. Every time you had to go up to your room, someone had to accompany you and the wait time was 15 minutes at minimum. The bed wasn’t made on time and the bedsheet given was not clean either. Had to request to get a new one so I could make my own bed.
