Sort of like a youth hostel for grown-ups. Something back-packery about it, but loads of young folk doing their thing. I'm an ancient 61 but nobody is fazed.. Its fine, its clean, quiet, everything works.

This hotel is small but perfectly formed. All the staff we very helpful and tried to accommodate everyone's needs. It was nice to see concierge, they gave us advice on companies to use for a cycle round central park and which bars to visit in lower Manhattan.
Metro station just round the corner, as well as convenience store and restaurants/coffee shops.
The rooms are clean and inviting though very small. This is something we knew through previous recommendation. Two people and two bags was a tight squeeze, though doable for a short stay. Beds are comfortable. Visit the rooftop for see views of the city day and night! The bar next door to the hotel is great, especially if you like beer, good music and lots of board games.
My only concerns whilst there was outside noise, just be wary if your a light sleeper we stayed on the 3 or 4th floor. The shower/toilet - the shower was just clear glass so could be seen from the room and the toilet door (slide Infront) was tinted. We ended up doing a little manoeuvre and used the sliding door to cover the shower.

Weve recently returned from a 5 night stay here. We stayed in a full pod on the 11th floor. Room was clean, smart, tidy and modern. Bed was very comfy. Front desk and concierge were very friendly. There is a lovely chinese restaurant and takeaway- Panda - at the end of the street plus a cafe - Ess a Bagel - whichwe had breakfast in each morning. From the hotel it's only a 15 min to Times Square and Rockafeller centre. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return
