Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly located just a few subway stations away from Manhattan, close to essential amenities like coffee shops and supermarkets. The rooms were cozy and equipped with everything needed, despite being a bit cramped for storage. The lack of vibrant nightlife nearby may leave the area feeling somewhat desolate, yet the convenience of access to key locations makes it a great choice for exploring the city.
The hotel is conveniently located near various amenities such as coffee shops, a supermarket, and subway stations. While the rooms lacked sufficient power points and had dusty air conditioners, they offered basic features like shower racks and bedside shelving. The area, although being in a commercial district, was quiet overall, with the bonus of a bar serving local draft beer. However, the warehouse surroundings could result in occasional noise from trucks and trains.
The hostel is situated in a cool hipster location with an amazing atmosphere and nice people. The rooms, while simple, could use a few additions to enhance the experience. The shared private bathrooms were convenient, and the hostel is close to multiple subway stations. However, it was a bit noisy during the evening hours.
The hotel offers spare but nicely designed rooms with high-quality materials and its own T & B. Great for storing everyone's bags and other belongings.

The location, though not amazing, is spacious and comfortable, just two blocks away from the subway line and in a great city. The dining options are available in the hostel, offering a free coffee at the bar and savoury pies. Overall, a great value for the price with clean and comfortable rooms.
