This is a fantastic stay! I enjoyed how friendly everyone was in the area. The place is walkable, and there are plenty of great food options nearby. If you're worried about staying in New York, do not worry! The place has good security, and you are given a lock to your capsule room. Make sure to lock up every time you leave your room for maximum security (even if it's just to grab water). I never felt unsafe there, and I met so many people from around the world. This was my first time staying in a hostel, and I can confidently say that it was worth it. If you're exploring the city for a couple of days, this is a nice stay. Also, one of the employees--Jeremy--is super cool and kind! We bonded over some of our interests, and it was nice to strike up conversation with someone new.
