First of all, I got...

Liked: The location
Disliked: The cleanliness, the facilities, the layout of the building, which was confusing to get to my room and there was no elevator.

Very good

Passable

Uncomfortable dirty construction site

Liked: Employees were very nice. Location is OK. Bed was comfy and clean.
Disliked: It was a construction site. Construction dust. Construction noise. Construction workers even inside the room. Almost no common areas available. Kitchen is a dungeon. 5th floor with bags and no elevator. For almost 100 dollars a night I would have expected a more habitable place. Even in NY.

Liked: The people that work there are really nice!
Disliked: The girls bathroom is just in 2 floors and I had to go downstairs 2 floors down every time I needed a shower os brush my teeth, very inconvenient and also the bathroom doesn't really cover your body you feel really embarrassed

Passable

Great location but a few...

Liked: The hostel is located close to Central Park, a few blocks away from the next Subway Station, and it's only a short ride to the main attractions of New York. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There were bagels for breakfast. The floor I stayed on was very quiet, and you could get a good rest at night. The bathrooms were spacious with several showers.
Disliked: The bed seemed old and squeaky. The mattress was saggy and not very comfortable. The bathrooms seemed to be dirty. I felt like they didn't clean them very often. The sink had the same toothpaste stains for days, and there were a lot of hair in the showers. In addition, the toilet had a leak from which water was coming out.
