2.0 Poor
Kayak overbooked this spot so they had no rooms available when I arrived. Needed to find alternate arrangements. Have not received refund yet and will not be booking this location again.
Z
8.5 Very good
Pros:The location was great: just off the 86th Street Line 1 station and with Central Park just next door.
Cons:Bunk bed was hard and spartan!
A
6.2 Okay
Pros:It was dead cheap, the staff were reasonably polite and friendly. 24hr check-in is useful.
Cons:You get what you pay for, so don't expect good bedding or complementary anything. The lockers didn't work on the room, so no secure storage.
L
6.2 Okay
Pros:The location is good (close to subway and with 24/7 services nearby), Central Park, etc... and staff members always nice and helpful, it was always clean and quiet, not a noisy backpackers place... Bathrooms were always clean and not busy, 24 hours reception, clean sheets...
Cons:It looks like a pension, and common areas are not necessary accommodating, there´s a kitchen which is OK and some "lounge" area in the basement but I wouldn´t say there were cool places to hang out at... Not too much of a hostel environment...at least not the ones I´m used to, with other travelers with whom to socialize. Understanding NYC it´s an expensive city, this was still not worth it (for the kind of experience I expect in a hostel), I'd rather check other options for the same budget...

2.0 Poor
