  • Room

    "if you are looking for a place to party,you have to go to this hostel,cause the 5th av is full of place to hang out,pubs ,restaurants ,places with live music,but if you are looking for a good night of sleep ask for a quiet room,cause mine was stray on the 5th street and the windows are made of plastic,not the top for the noise coming from the street." source Hostelworld

    "Bedroom next to party room isn't great for sleeping so i cut my stay here short but other rooms seem to be good and the party rooms is good to have some fun in." source Hostelworld

    "Only thing is a bit of a con is when its hot, there is no AC in the rooms and it gets pretty hot in the rooms and hard to sleep at night." source Hostelworld

    "Only bad thing is that the front rooms are pretty noisy because its on the main street but bring earplugs and you'll be fine." source Hostelworld

    "Maybe a better sound proof system for rooms facing the street will be helpful." source Hostelworld
