I stayed here in July of 2018. PLEASE RESEARCH THESE REVIEWS BEFORE BOOKING YOUR STAY. There is a reason this place is so affordable for being located in midtown manhattan. It’s a unique experience that many would consider an absolute nightmare. It was a decent fit for me because I was traveling alone and out in the city all day, so I really needed a place to sleep and shower by myself. The rooms are literally 15 6’x4’ closets crammed into a long NYC loft. Quite frankly, I’m surprised this place is legal and it’s the kind of thing you’d expect to find on a third world country. That being said, the staff was extremely kind, and upon returning home late every night always came out of the office to check in if I was okay. I appreciated the care. The other reviews are right, aside from the 4 thin walls you sleep in and the door with a pad lock you use to protect yourself, there is absolutely no privacy. The bathrooms are communal/co ed, and the “rooms” have no ceiling so there is no sound proofing. You can hear *everything* in every room. If you need a CHEAP space to lay your head and don’t mind truly roughing it, this will do. If you have any hope for a relaxing hotel experience, this is NOT for you. The reason this gets a 3 star instead of a 1 star is I think it delivers on what it promises: a hyper cheap and potentially-illegal sleeping location in the heart of NYC.

Listen, it’s a small yet clean room with friendly service, clean bathrooms, wifi, and the guys at the desk are just amazing. Plus they have fresh fruit and cereal and filtered water all day and night. Great location and price

It will be a good place for max 1 night, you cannot speak loudly there, it is a large room divided into 20 rooms separated by plywood without ceilings ... Shared bathroom, women and men. Hari Krishna style hotel. Breakfast is toast with jam. On the second day, there was no more coffee, fruit or peanut butter. Service without a smile. It was hot in the room, it was impossible to reduce the temperature, because it is not known where the radiators are ... Generally, never again ... The only advantage of the place is the location, but the very thought of returning for the night there was getting bad ...

This might be a tad late as a review (I stayed for 4 nights April 13-16, 2022) but I just want to express my appreciation of Interfaith Retreats as run by Alex & Zeena. The place was well-maintained as far as cleanliness and availability of bathroom/toilet essentials were concerned and the house rule of no unnecessary noise from guests are gently enforced when needed - most welcome especially at night due to the fact that unfortunately the cubicles are constructed not with thick or noise-proof materials next to each other in a row. But, hey, for the price and it's central Manhattan location, one can put up with minor personal constraints, can't one? Besides, with the name of the business clearly suggesting a religious orientation, one should come to Interfaith Retreats ready to experience an oasis in a chaotic city. And this was immediately palpable as soon as I stepped inside its 2nd-floor, up-a-long-vertical-staircase premises. About the cubicles, BTW, I would say that the size was enough for a guest traveling light, say, with only a suitcase and/or a backpack - like I did - what with the single bed and a small table occupying most of the space. Hence, rating it 3 stars. But they're undeniably upfront about it in the description of their offered accommodation. And for a short-term stay of enjoying NYC to the max and coming back to the room only to sleep and do some computer work to end or begin one's Big Apple adventures, surely this can be an issue that can be overlooked, can't it? For somebody who likes to start the day with fruits - coffee a little later - I loved that there was always a variety of fresh fruits in the salon buffet for guests to take for breakfast or snacks the whole day. The coffee I had to buy from a nearby 8th Avenue deli since the place didn't provide it as a matter of dietary choice (vegan/vegetarian? - can't remember which). As for the staff, they were chill-friendly and have my highest commendation for being nicely accommodating. The young lady at the reception smilingly allowed me to leave my luggage in the reception when I came much earlier than the designated check-in time. I was then able to go out and check out the neighborhood while my cubicle/room was being prepared. Oh, and thanks to Alex for helping me bring down my main luggage after I checked out. He didn't have to... Would I want to stay at Interfaith Retreats again if I have the chance in the (near) future? You betcha!

My first time in NYC, and I reserved 3 nights(booking.com's review was all false, and then I found it needed the review invitation to write one in booking.com. that might be the reason). In short, the ac is too strong and the sheets are very thin. No roof, I saw blood on the toilet paper, mix-gender shower, and the doubt that this place is potential illegal. I changed my return trip and decided to check out after just one night. This is like a nightmare.

I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to stay here for the 24 hours that I was visiting NYC. I greatly enjoyed the atmosphere more than anything: the pictures of saints and gurus and gods, the diverse literature, the plentiful fruits and other foods available throughout the day, the highly friendly staff, the overall cleanliness and neatness, all contributed to making a very cozy space that I was happy to reside in. I felt blessed to have found such a calm and cozy space in the middle of the urban chaos of NYC. As I was considering how I should spend the night in NYC, I was undecided about this hostel, but the thing that won me over was learning that much of the money earned by this enterprise is used directly in financing food relief programs for homeless and those in need in NYC. I haven't seen many other reviews mention this part, but when I learned that my money was being put to good use and not just filling the pockets of some real estate monger I became very pleased. There are a number of reviews that offer warnings about the minimal comforts, and some of them take off quite a few stars because of the accommodations. I recommend that first-timers heed those reviews, because it really is very basic living here. For me, that was exactly what I wanted and needed; I just wanted a bed, some wifi, a place to sit and read, and a place to leave my luggage. The cozy atmosphere and tasty fruits and tea were a nice bonus. In short, if you are looking for some extra comforts and elegance, you may indeed not wish to stay here. But if you like to travel light, simple, and/or on a budget, this place will serve you well. You will not find a friendlier staff and cozier atmosphere than you'll find at this place, and you'll not find hosts who spend their earnings as honorably as the owners do here.

(Translated by Google) The hotel is a disaster, the only good thing is the location and the food during the day. They do not let you talk at any time of the day, you hear everything, the rooms have no roof, there is only one bathroom for everyone, the water in the morning comes cold and you can not bathe, it is cold, the wiring is made in sight of all and the attention is not good. I recommend paying a little more but go elsewhere. (Original) El hotel es un desastre, lo unico bueno es la ubicación y la comida durante el día. No te dejan hablar a ningun horario del día, se escucha todo, las habitaciones no tienen techo, hay un solo baño para todos, el agua a la mañana sale fria y no te podes bañar, hace frío, el cableado esta hecho a la vista de todos y la atención no es buena. Les recomiendo pagar un poco mas pero ir a otro lado.

I booked a stay for 2/16 to 2/17 (2023) and was very happy with my experience. The staff were great upon check-in, giving me a walk-thru with another guest before showing me to my room. The rooms were small but I was anticipating that -- they are very detailed in their explanation of the space you are booking when you do. You just have to read the details! I ended up checking out the night of 2/16 and didn't actually sleep at the hostel but that's only because my friend's had booked an airbnb elsewhere that ended up having a futon I was able to stay on and I wanted to spend more time with them! But I would have felt totally safe in this space with the multiple different locks (fob key to enter the building, locked doors at each floor, locked private door for my room) and the security system in place (cameras). I also feel it's important to note that the beds not only had mattress covers but also waterproof pads. Super clean! If I am ever in the area again and need a spot for the night, I would totally stay here! Thanks a billion, Interfaith Retreats!

What a wonderful place for a solo traveler to stay. Great location 3 blocks from the amtrak station. Very relaxed atmosphere. They have lots of fruit and other items to snack on all day. Cute individual rooms very safe. You have the key to your locked pod. Love staying here.

Stayed here for 3 nights on the run up to Christmas from the uk. Brilliant service from staff who are very approachable. Pods are clean and other guests follow the rules on being quiet and respectful. The breakfast bar is practical and a range of fruits ect is good. Close to times square, penn Station, empire state building and other landmarks. The building is guarded throughout the day by security guards who make sure you are a guest. You must use a fob to get yourself into the building and also unlock your floor so the place is very secure. Thank you so much, toby

(Translated by Google) It is convenient to go anywhere with Times Square being a 20-minute walk and Chelsea Market being a 15-minute walk. I think it takes about 5 minutes to the pen station. There is only one single bed and a half bed space (it seems to be different depending on the room), so the room is quite narrow, and I think that a large suitcase can only be spread over the bed. I stayed for about a week, but I did not feel any particular inconvenience regarding the room size. Cereals and fruits are on the counter and can be eaten freely. I ate as breakfast and (sometimes) a night meal! Water also has a water server. You can also eat outside in the living room. However, since the person who runs the inn is a vegan, you can not bring in meat, eggs or milk. Towels give me something new. I think the service is good. (Original) タイムズスクエアまで徒歩20分、チェルシーマーケットまで徒歩15分とどこに行くにも便利です。ペンステーションまで5分程度だと思います。 部屋はシングルベット1台とベット半分くらいのスペース(部屋によってまちまちのようです)しかないのでかなり狭く、大きいスーツケースだとベットの上しか広げられないと思います。私は1週間ほど滞在しましたが、部屋の広さに関して特に不自由は感じませんでした。 シリアルやフルーツはカウンターに置いてあり、自由に食べることができます。私は朝食と(たまに)夜食として食べていました！水もウォーターサーバーがあります。外で購入したものをリビングで食べることもできます。 ただ、宿を運営する人がヴィーガンなので、肉、卵、牛乳は持ち込むことができません。 タオルは言えば新しいものをくれます。サービスはいいと思います。

BEST KEPT SECRET IN MANHATTAN!!! This hostel is wonderful! Perfect for solo travelers seeking peace, comfort, and affordability. The location is near Penn Station, restaurants, and Times Square. Jason and Alex are the most gracious and knowledgeable hosts! Checking in was the best experience!

So, first, the good: Staff is very kind and accommodating, and they really make an effort to provide fresh fruit that is really delicious; more than your standard apples and bananas. While I was here, they provided strawberries, blackberries, lots of dried fruit, and plenty of snacks. Cool if you're on a super budget, and let's be real, if you're staying here, you're budgeting. Now the bad: If you're expecting to have more than a tiny cubby to sleep in or you're anything taller than 6 feet, you are going to have a bad time. The beds here are kind of... Custom. They're cots in what can best be described as a communal shanty. Bathrooms are kinda musty, but seem to be clean. (For a hostel, not bad) That being said, if I'm ever back in NYC for longer than one night.... I'd probably spend the extra money for a real bed.

If you value your privacy, do not stay here. I am a very private person and was extremely uncomfortable with the lack of solitude felt while in my “room” which does not have a ceiling, by the way. I can’t really comment on anything else because it bothered me so much I was unable to stay the night. All of the noise coming from outside the room (other rooms, lounge area etc.) was very loud. Worse yet, none of this was advertised properly on the website I used to book my stay, and the payment was non-refundable.

Considering the location and the free fruits, nuts, cereal, bread, milk and cheese, it’s priced ok. I paid 55 USD including 5 dollar cleaning fee. The room (partitioned booth with no ceiling) is small (mine was about 5 by 5.9 ft) and I could not sleep straight because the bed’s length was an inch or so shorter than my height (5.9ft/178cm). The picture of Hindu saints are everywhere including the room. I would choose this place again as I do not mind noise, vegan restriction (no meat, fish and egg on the premise), and small room and I don’t drink nor smoke. I recommend to anyone who likes to save money, can sleep under noise and respectful of Hindu religion.

This place is very clean, very comfortable, fully air-conditioned, and ... very small. Each guest gets a cubicle just 5 feet by 6 feet. You share a three-stall, gender-inclusive bathroom with about ten guests. This shared bathroom is very clean, and I found it totally uncrowded, no lines at all. This hostel is not for everybody. It is only for those who don't mind and perhaps actually enjoy spartan, student-style travel. Also, it is best if you are under five-feet-ten-inches. When I arrived late one evening, the host Alex greeted me with a beaming smile and a light hug, and out from his lips tumbled out the house rules. No meat, no fish, no eggs, no spitting, extreme quiet, extreme cleanliness. There are pictures of Jesus, Buddha, Krishna and Bhaktivedanta (and several other Gods) everywhere. Although I am atheist by faith and Jain by tradition, I felt very welcome here. In fact, amidst the monastic plain-ness and the total lack of luxury of this BnB, I actually felt a sense of quiet renewal. Sometimes the extra frills and pretenses and wastage of a Hilton or a Marriot can make you uncomfortable. If that is you, stay here. If that is not you, then avoid this place.

Yes location not bad. But this location needs mold control ! I checked in and twenty minutes later I had to check out ! Bye bye money spent ! Why ? My nose was pierced by mold and I was totally feeling unhealthy. Who cares if you donate your profits to the cause of feeding homeless people. ? It is so fake. Why don’t you publish your real financials.

Abgesehen von dem extrem teuren Preis, den man aber generell für alle Unterkünfte in NYC bezahlt: Das gemütlichste Stadthostel in dem ich bisher war. Es gibt private Schlafkabinen und den ganzen Tag über Obst, Haferbrei usw.

The staff is very up front that these are small, “rustic”, personal-sized cabins that do not go up to the ceiling - and I give them 5 stars because they deliver on what they offer for the most affordable price in New York City with clean rooms, bathrooms, and showers, and very friendly accommodating staff that genuinely care about their visitors.

Great staff!! Awesome safe place to stay while in New York City.

The location is amazing as it is in the center of Manhattan.The staff are always there to assist and help. The small and cozy cabins are very clean and have just what you need as a solo traveler. Breakfast is included but very limited. There is no elevator, which means people with huge bags and people with disabilities might struggle going up the stairs.

Pardon the mess, forgot to take picture on the first day. Overall the little space I have is pretty nice, i kind of like this kind of small area where i get my own privacy. The toilet however can be made better. The shower place doesnt have enough pressure, the water flow so slowly... Another annoying part is when neighbour have alarm in the morning and they never wake up to it. The whole world was awake except the guy who set the alarm, which is annoying

I stayed here for five days and it's definitely a safe clean place. thanks for everything.

Do. Not. Recommend. Horrible horrible place. Firstly the showers were super disgusting with mold on the walls and the curtains. Secondly, my mattress was super thin, yet super hard, with a hard bulge in the center of it. Couldn't sleep at all. Never go to a place that has visible mold!

Pod rooms are cozy and roomy enough for one person. The overall atmosphere is very peaceful and calm, and will eliminate any anxiety you had on your way. The staff are amazingly welcoming, friendly and really make you feel at home. Would book again as a solo traveller.

(Translated by Google) It's very narrow but I can walk to Midtown and the rich was good. I was always cleaning and it was very beautiful. Staff owners are really good people above all! ! I stayed with one woman but I was able to spend it safely! (Original) とても狭いけどミッドタウンまで歩いて行けるしリッチは良かったです。いつも掃除をしていてとても綺麗でした。何よりもスタッフオーナーの方がとっても良い人たちです！！女性1人で宿泊しましたが安全に過ごせました！

Delightful welcome and genuine desire to see you have a good stay. The connection to supporting food programs, is peerless. It is comfortable, secure and cozy. I liked the lack of television and aim to let guests know not to bang their doors or babble at high decibels on their cellphones. My case was heavy and I had difficulty getting up the stairs. Alex came down and helped me up the stairs, to check in. I have stayed at 5 star hotels where they have just looked at me, struggling through the door, priming the credit card machine to take a deposit equal to the GDP of a small country. A communal area with books and sofas all add up to a lovely stay. Guests are welcome to volunteer on the days the meals are served to those in need..welcome but not expected. It is run by genuine, gentle people who create an atmosphere, you will not forget. I learnt some good lessons during my short stay. I love this place.

This hostel is definitely one of the worst ones I've stayed at for the price, even in NYC. There are no "rooms". It's more like a bunch of tents in a large auditorium. Sounds come from everywhere at night and the beds are tiny. If youre taller than 5'9" prepare to sleep curled up a bit. The food is nice, but they even asked to be paid in cash. Next day the IRS/NYC auditors showed up while we were in the room, which I asume is one reason they asked for cash.

(Translated by Google) Because it is a very unique accommodation, it is not included in the guidebooks, but it was comfortable for me who was not good at meat. About $ 110 per night and payment is cash only. The owner is regularly cooked homeless, and I'm not appreciating it, but I decided to give homeless people who were on the roadside about 900 dollars out of $ 1200. (Original) とても個性的な宿泊施設なのであまりガイドブック等には載ってませんが、たまたま肉類が苦手な私には居心地が良かったです。だいたい一泊あたり110ドル位で支払いは前金 現金のみです。オーナーの方は定期的にホームレスに炊き出しをされていて見習った訳ではないですが1200ドルぶん現金に両替した内の900ドル分位を道端にいたホームレスの方々にカンパさせて頂きました。

Chamber of horrors.

The staff here is EPIC!!!

Fun place.

Booked two nights from this place from Airbnb; they are very easy to communicate with. Provide clear information prior to arrival. Unfortunately, I got a fever two days before my check-in time so I didn't stay at their place eventually. They are really helpful to my last-minute change.

My stay at this hostel was incredibly disappointing. The "room" was more like a cramped cubicle—impossible to stretch in, especially for someone my height (6 ft). The lack of space meant terrible circulation, making it hot and smelly. Noise was unbearable; every little sound from adjacent spaces disrupted my sleep, even with provided earplugs. The bed shook with every step outside, hindering any chance of rest. The tiny bathrooms and excessive wall pictures added to the discomfort. Overall, it was a terrible experience. This place is not suitable for anyone seeking comfort. The low price definitely didn't make up for the discomfort and lack of peace. Avoid this hostel for a restful stay.

The location is great, right in midtown and walking distance to many shops, restaurants, and metro. The room is prefect for solo travelers, prefect for just sleep and explore the city during the day. Staffs are friendly and helpful when needed. The price is unreal for midtown! Highly recommend and will totally stay again when I'm in the city.

Great location with affordable prices n service is just awesome. Especially Alex n his respect towards visitors/customers is awesome.

(Translated by Google) Good hostel with single cabins. Very clean. However owed the situation also very close. The breakfast is purely vegetarian and the bathroom is relatively clean for a hostel. The location is super central and from the Pennstation 3 minutes away. From there you can go directly to the Newark airport. (Original) Gutes Hostel mit einzelnen Kabinen. Sehr sauber. Allerdings der Lage geschuldet auch sehr eng. Das Frühstück ist rein vegetarisch und das Bad ist für ein Hostel relativ sauber. Die Lage ist super zentral und von der Pennstation 3 Minuten entfernt. Von dort kommt man direkt zum Newark Flughafen.

(Translated by Google) A different hostel. They are individual cabins, with key in the door, a bed and a bedside table. Wait no more than this in the cabin. The food is always served and has lots of fruits and some snacks, hot water, fridge and microwave. Strictly vegetarian and very tasty food. The bathrooms are clean and the atmosphere is very quiet. The room (cabin) has no ceiling, which makes it a bit weird, but nothing that gets in the way of privacy. For the short budget or just a few nights, it's ok! It has a very steep flight of stairs to enter and the bed is short. It is apparently a Hare Krishna community, so if you have problems with this ideology, you may not be comfortable. (Original) Um hostel diferente. São cabines individuais, com chave na porta, uma cama e uma mesinha de cabeceira. Não espere mais que isso na cabine. A comida está sempre servida e tem muitas frutas e alguns snacks, água quente, geladeira e micro-ondas. Alimentação estritamente vegetariana e bem gostosa. Os banheiros são limpos e o ambiente é bem silencioso. O quarto (cabine) não tem teto, o que deixa um pouco estranho, mas nada que atrapalhe a privacidade. Para o orçamento curto ou apenas umas poucas noites, é ok! Tem um lance de escadas bem íngreme para entrar e a cama é curta. É, aparentemente, uma comunidade Hare Krishna, portanto se tiver problemas com essa ideologia, talvez não fique confortável.

The hostel is modest, but clean, secure-feeling, and conveniently located. I found it quiet (I pack ear plugs) and very comfortable. I'll stay again for sure.

Definitely recommend for the excellent location and staff. Rooms almost claustrophobically small but very comfortable. Door security 24/7.

Good. Quiet

nice place

If you need a place to sleep only, then it's a recommended hostel to stay. Located near to penn Station and other metro locations.

Convenience for transportation, friendly staff, cozy room. Although some noise causing soundproof is not good

Really enjoyed my stay here. Friendly welcome, good breakfast options and lovely little private spaces to sleep in - which can be locked and are equipped with plug sockets. The cost is very reasonable, especially given how great the location is.

Very nice place. Don't bring any large luggage if you don't want to climb very steep steps with it. Modest, small, but very friendly and cheap.

Recently stayed here and it was fantastic! I won’t spoil the surprise for you, just remember the rules - which are in place to ensure everyone has a pleasant stay. Including you 😃 Enjoy!

I’ve stayed here twice and will stay again. Clean, quiet and friendly staff. Bring ear plugs if you are disturbed by ambient noise and the odd phone alarm/ring. Hosts are attentive, guests polite and rooms are secure and clean. I’m a tall dude, 6’3” and just fit in the single beds I’ve stayed in. Come and be respectful!

unfortunately I had to cancel my stay for work reasons, but the team was super attentive and flexible. They answered me super quickly. for all the attention you give me, I will certainly stay there another time

Couldn’t make it to the reservation and asked for a refund even tho I didn’t select the option to get refunded when I booked it. They approved it immediately and showed great support.

Perfect location to visit Manhattan by foot. Very very nice and helpful hosts! I recommend this place 100% :)

This place is okay value for a good location, but definitely has its cons too. After hours the neighborhood is a bit dodgy, and you need to call on the phone to be let in, so there are a few minutes of standing outside feeling somewhat unsafe. There is one flight of stairs that is a bit steep to climb. Staff on Sunday mornings is not very knowledgeable, the wifi was out and it was a bit hard to communicate in order to have it reset. The individual pods are too small to fit a suitcase, so luggage is left out in the common kitchen area. Sheets smell of disinfectant the place is run by a Krishna society group, heavily decorated and equipped with Hare Krishna literature, with images from other faiths interspersed to make it "interfaith". The breakfast area is fruit, popcorn, bread and butter.

Unfortunately, I have to cancelled my reservation due to other plans but the host were quite responsive and refund me right away. Prime spot if you visiting Manhattan.

Small, frugal, simple. There is no impressive comforts but the lone traveller will lack nothing in terms of basic needs. You can sleep, shower, and keep your stuff safe while in New York on a budget. It is conveniently situated near Penn Station, the Port Authority, and Chelsea Market. The staff on hand are also very amicable. Will return should I have an opportunity to do so.

It was great in the fact that it is close to Penn Station etc. Positives include that I felt safe while staying here. Basic food needs are supplied. Restroom was clean, and worked well. Negatives include the fact the food (butter) wasn't covered so some flies were around. Restroom needs a hand towel. The place is run a bit like a monastery in that when you talk you are shushed for speaking in a normal tone, and told to whisper (even at 9:30 am!). An old man there constantly telling people to be quiet, SSH! Seems ridiculous though, because the construction of the room is that there is no ceiling above the bedroom stalls. So any sounds are heard throughout the large room.

as a cheap location it was ok, but I wouldn't stay here again. since the rooms had an material that had caps in them, you can hear everything, had to mostly stay quiet as not to wake or disturb others

Good place for a sleep night. Good location with a friendly staff

Nice people

Amazing Hospitality... Alex & Adi are just wonderful...

(Translated by Google) Men and women toilets / showers shared. The symbols of all religions are scattered. Cleaning fee is $ 10 and service charge is 15%.

A well run place and clean! Staff was friendly. Very very difficult to sleep here with the noise

The people here are so incredibly nice, the place is well kept, and your housemates respect your privacy. As this was my first AirBnB experience, and my first experience in New York City, they have put high expectations on my perspective of what an AirBnB experience should be. A few things to keep note of: -around 7-8pm, they get real uptight about noise volume, which is to be expected since you're sharing a space with many other people. -your bedroom is a tiny cubicle and only sustains a bed and a table, so dont try bringing in a lot of stuff. -free breakfast is included and they supply fruits and cookies all throughout the day Despite these notes, for as cost affordable of a place this is, you may not see a better deal than this. And with being walking distance from time square, you'll always know your way back there if you get lost. Thank you guys so much for your hospitality!

Very helpful staff... great area safe clean and close to everything you would need to enjoy your stay in Manhattan New York City... simple and I comfortable priced just right...I would recommend and I would stay again..

Great accomodations in handy location. Nice atmosphere. Good wireless. My new pied-à-terre in NYC. And interesting SRO history.

Loved my stay here such a quaint lil spot

100 % recomendable. Is a piece of home in Manhatan

Good Place to Donate.

(Translated by Google) Great service (Original) Buen servicio

Friendly people

Great place close to major attractions, nice ambience

I was in a brief period of homelessness, so a family member paid for me to stay here for a night. my cell phone was dead, had difficulty finding the place, but finally arrived around midnight. because of the setup I may have been disruptive to people sleeping at such a late hour. however, I did fall asleep within 20 minutes of arriving. I was awoken at 5 am angrily by the man in charge saying that I was sleeptalking and waking everyone up/possibly smoking (I dont smoke). He was very rude and accusatory when I really just came there for a nights sleep and breakfast. I did not engage in any nefarious activity that shouldve gotten me kicked out at 5 am. I was back on the 10 degree streets at 5 am to be homeless again. i would have expected some compassion from these eastern spiritual types. maybe he missed a few important passages from the bhagavad gita. it was a bizarre experience for me, possibly the worst/most bizarre experience ive had in dealing with any business of any type.

Great staff, and a clean and relatively cheap place to stay at in Manhattan.

Coming from India, I found a home away from home. Staff is great and helpful. Don't hesitate to book here.

(Translated by Google) Endless stairs, an odyssey arrive, no elevator, expensive. Nothing recommended. (Original) Escaleras sinfín, una odisea llegar, sin ascensor, caro. Nada recomendable.

(Translated by Google) A neat and pleasant place. I stayed there for 10 days, and it was not that bad. The rooms are tiny cubicles without ceilings and some harsh rules about talking in the evening, etc. But at this price in NY you can really swallow a lot. Breakfast free with a good choice. If you have any questions to write, I will help. Clean and quiet (Original) Miejsce zadbane i przyjemne. Nocowałem tam 10 dni, i nie było tak źle. Pokoje to malutkie klitki bez sufitów i trochę ostre reguły o rozmawianiu w porach wieczornych itd. Ale w tej cenie w NY to mozna naprawdę dużo przełknąć. Śniadanie darmo z sporym wyborem. Jak jakieś pytania to pisać, pomogę. Czysto i cicho

If you’re the cute guy (asian, fluffy hair, nice smile) who said good morning to me at the water station on 24.10.2023 while I was leaving please email me or something because I cannot get you out of my mind. Anyways the room was good. Small, but clean, so was the bathroom. The amount of pictures did creep me out a bit but there was a shelf over the bed so it was fine. The only slight problem was the noise. You can hear everything. I did have one bad night where an alarm went off at 3 am for half an hour straight. But I’d definitely book again because good location, good hygiene and honestly reasonable price for NYC. Thanks a lot to the staff who were there 24/7. Lovely people. Also, they have a portable scale if you ever have to weigh your luggage for he airport.

The staff is nice, and there is some breakfast available all day. The rooms are as advertised: small and with sort of an 'open roof'. The location is great. I think your stay depends a lot on the other guests. During my first night someone decided to have a long and loud phone call on speaker, at 1 am. Which woke everyone up, since you can hear sounds from other rooms very well. Once staff was notified, they were quickly shut down. The other nights I stayed there were much quieter. If you are a very light sleeper this might not be for you, although there are earplugs available. Except for the first night, I had a good stay.
