Great location (right by Empire State Building, and very near subway), and very clean. It is just as tiny as it looks, but we stuffed 5 people into it for 4 days and it worked. The windows look out on an airshaft (not an alley or courtyard, but they do let in light). Not every unit on the floor has its own bathroom (this one does), so there is a shared bathroom available, which actually came in handy. I'm not sure that the kitchen was useful with 5 of us there, but it would work better if 2-3 people were there.
With 5 there isn't really room to eat. The bunkbeds weren't terribly comfortable, but everything was super clean, check in and out was easy, and honestly we'd stay there again.
