I guess the cleanliness is always depending on the guests but during the week that I was there, there must have stayed some pigs there as well. Common area and bathrooms could have used some cleaning.
It was also a bit puzzling to figure out, who is staff and who is guest. That makes even the simplest question ("Can I get a towel?") pretty embarrasing. But if you are lucky and find the right guy, staff is friendly!
Although it is approx. 45 Minutes by subway to the hot spots of Manhattan, the location of the hostel is OK.
Betten waren okay. Aber eine gewisse Grundsauberkeit war leider an den 2Tagen nicht vorhanden und nur eine funktioniernde Küche und 2kleine Badezimmer für ca. 22gemischte Personen ist schon speziell.
