Stayed here for a week, it was my first time in the US and I was on a bit of a budget and was dead happy in the end staying here, the place was always immaculate (cheers Roy!), was warm with heaters in the room should the nights get nippy, and Yosef the night manager was great, had some fantastic conversations with him and some of the folks staying here, definitely does a good job of keeping the place running, making sure guests are all okay and sorting out any issues that pop up. Having staff in the hostel too made it feel safe, I never had any worries staying here and if I ever get the chance to go back I'd be more than happy to stay again. The building too, wicked vibe, there was something pretty special about staying in an older artsy building, if that's your thing you'll really like it
