7.0 Very good 
Really good hostel for a small budget!
The hostel is really good, it’s good value for money. The rooms and common areas are clean, as are the showers and toilets! The main thing of offering dormitories and rooms for 2 people is great too! But, here are the downsides: - the window in our room did not open, and knowing that we did not necessarily have time to air out during the day since we were not there, after a week, the smell in the room became very unpleasant. - In the kitchens, they only offer plastic cutlery for eating. So if you want to cut carrots for example, good luck! On the other hand, what’s great is that the hostel is in a great location! 20 minutes from Times Square by transport, 15/20 minutes from Tribeca and Soho, the same to go to Central Park. Its location allows you to do and visit many emblematic places quickly, since it is nearby.

8.9 Great
Ideal for visiting NY because the location is perfect!
Do not have a large suitcase or ask for a room on the first floor maximum ;-). Otherwise nothing to complain about, the stay was very good and the hostel is ideally located in Manhattan. Bring earplugs for better sleep ^^
