“This was a great little base to have whilst spending time enjoying the city! The neighbourhood is great and the staff are very friendly. The rooms are very clean and presentable. Yes, they’re small, but they are brimming with character and there’s more than enough room to store your things, plus has AC, TV & a safe.”

“Great residential location near coffee shops, etc. Cute lobby filled with great books. Polite and friendly staff. Rooms are super cozy and cute (tiny like a ship cabin.) Comfy bed and pillows. Shared bathroom still offers privacy and has blow-drier. It’s a hostel, but cozy and chic. Affordable too. Really enjoyed my stay there.”

“This last was my 3rd stay…great accommodation, a welcoming atmosphere and nostalgia for a city I adore as well as the neighborhood that was mine. The staff, “above and below decks” are clearly well-versed in hospitality and how to extend the kind “handshake” that all real New Yorkers possess. Bravo to the new proprietors on both the ongoing renovations and maintaining a tight ship that has always been the trademark of this landmark venue!

-Chris L.

“Place is fantastic! Clean, comfortable, ridiculously reasonable (especially by NY standards), in a great part of the city. Staff also very friendly and helpful. Don’t let “hostel” fool you.”
