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.
The hotel has some unique features, like artwork and exposed brick details in the rooms, but the room setup for four persons could be better optimized.
