Broadway Hotel & Hostel

I booked this hotel for my parents for my graduation 5 month in advance since this it is close to my apartment and my father has a medical condition which requires me to be close.
When we arrived around 8 pm to the hotel we were told that a water pipe broke, and that instead of getting a room with a privet bathroom, my parents were get a room with shared bathroom. My parent are almost 70, and my dad’s medical condition requires a privet room with a privet bathroom! Although the staff had my contact information and could of notify me 12 hour in advance to make other arrangements I was not notify.
I was only given a 35% discount for that night (which was still higher than what other guests paid for a room with shared bathroom). I was promised by the hotel staff to have a private room ready in the morning, and was told to bring down my parents luggage in the morning so they can receive the room the I reserved.
In the morning, there was no room ready nor could my parent leave their luggage in the room that they spent the night in (although I paid for it). They had to leave their luggage in a storage room with other guests’ things. My father has a $ 5000 medical equipment he travels with and leaving it in an unsecured room caused him a lot of anxiety.
Since my parent do not speak good English I needed to leave work for 4 hours to take care of this and make sure they had a room for the night.
This hotel is highly unprofessional, does not respect reservation when they are made 5 month in advance, and gives false promises. I receive 10% discount for the remaining nights which I believed was not an appropriate compensation considering I had to miss work, was given a downgraded room, and was lied to by the staff
After speaking about this with the manager all she had to say is «I’m sorry.» She did not take responsibility for what had happened or offered a compensation.
I cannot express my disappointment, this whole experience definitely ruined my graduation week!!!

The Broadway Hotel and Hostel is very comfortable, the staff is ALWAYS PLEASANT and HELPFULNESS!
The Hostel is CLEAN, close to the subway. The rooms are small, but who cares. I was in New York to be out exploring and attend baseball games.
Their are a good selection of places to eat nearby.
The price is MORE THAN REASONABLE.
if I ever return to New York, I would stay here.

My favorite place in nyc… the staff are awesome

Run! I hate this place. It was a nightmare.
The staff were rude, aggressive and deceitful.
The room is cold, and the wifi doesn’t work at all.
Go to Jazz on the Park hostel on central park ave & 106 St. They all consider as hostel but Jazz on the park is way better both price and service which is just three blocks to the B and C train station. Very easy to get around town. The vibe is so much better there.
I stayed two nights with them then the next day I left and went somewhere else for my third night in New York, and I would never consider coming back.

We had room 426, double private ensuite. With one word: horrible. I can’t even say that it’s fine for a few days in New York. There was a mix-​up with reservation, wifi is very slow, dark and depressing room with lights always on, there was no soap and not even a holder for toilet paper, two times cold water when showering. Cleaning starts at around 9am so you can get woken up. Some pipe was making loud noises over the night, again woken up by that.
The only good thing is the location. Nice neighborhood, close to subway, pretty much close to everything.

Just had a bad experience. Canceled reservations and supposedly they didn’t receive it and charged me for first night. I called about issue and was told by manager they will look into it. It’s been two weeks and I haven’t heard anything or received a refund. Every time I call manager avoids me. Completely unprofessional and frustrating, you do don’t run a company like this.

1. The room was nowhere closer to the pictures shown.
2.Hallway smelled of cigarettes
3.Shared Bathrooms were not clean specially the bath tub.
4.The bed was so old and creaking even if we sit on it.
5. No option for temperature control in the room and no proper ventilation. Our room was too stuffy and the only way to get rid of that was to open a tiny window in the corner of the room facing the bed with no blinds.
It was our first time to NY and we had booked a queen room with shared bath in this hotel months ahead of our trip at the rate of $ 175 per night. We got misled by the pictures posted in their website and the booking websites. But when we actually checked in, it was not worth for the money. We got out of this place within an hour of checking in. We were able to get a room in hilton on the same day for the same price. Such a scam!

Do not stay here!!! They have a serious BED BUG problem.
1 star because the staff are really sweet.
I went to New York this past September and I noticed the bed bug when I opened my suitcase to find a huuuge one in my clothes after I left the hostel.
The AC is ridiculously noisy and the bathrooms were dirty as well. I didn’t even bother to shower because it was gross, I just waited to check into a new hotel later that day.
Stay somewhere else; for two people I was able to stay at the Hampton Inn and Westin for less than the hostel.

I’ve backpacked all over Europe, Asia, and Southeast Asia and stayed in many hostels. This place is ok. Location is good for subway.
20 something couple stayed in private queen bed with shared bath.
Bathrooms are filthy. The same piece of hair was in the drain all week.(I’m talking a giant glob of black hair). They ran out of Toilet paper on one for 2 days.
As for the rooms they are small and plain which is fine. They have a sink and tv. They did not look like the picture online. The mattress had a giant dent in the center and needed to be replaced 5 years ago. After walking all over the city I wake up sore.
The walls/​doors are very thin. Even with earplugs in I hear everyone slamming their doors around 7am. Constant door slams. You can see on the frames where they tried to pad it but that has worn off and provides no muffles.
Only good thing is the price but in hindsight I would have rather paid $ 50 more a night for an actual hotel.
Wife’s review: For what we paid (over $ 1000 for week… they don’t provide wash rags which to me was a big deal… and not a lot to ask for. The cleaning crew comes by god early 9 am which is early to be out if room for us. Which wasn’t a problem after the door slams began around 7am. :)

Ganz ok, für den Preis kann man in Manhattan wohl nicht so viel erwarten. Die Lage ist gut, Metrostationen sind ganz in der Nähe, auch Supermärkte und Möglichkeiten zum Essen. Besonders gut hat uns auch gefallen, dass man mit wenigen Schritten am Hudson-​River zum Laufen ist und nur wenige Blöcke vom Central Park entfernt ist.
Personal ist freundlich und einigermaßen bemüht.
Unser Zimmer war nicht sehr klein, dafür gab es zu wenig Möglichkeiten etwas aufzuhängen (Haken an der Wand, Stuhl, über den man mal ein Hemd legen kann…). Der «Kleiderschrank» hatte nur drei Bügel und ansonsten gab es noch eine kleine Kommode.
Der Teppichboden sah leider nicht mehr so ganz taufrisch aus, war aber noch annehmbar. Bad war sauber und der Zimmerservice war auch jeden Tag da.
Gepäck unterstellen am letzten Tag kostet nochmal zwei Dollar pro Stück extra.
Dafür hatten wir auch kostenloses WLAN auf dem Zimmer (311), auch wenn in der Beschreibung stand, dass das nur in der Lobby geht.
Alles in allem empfehlenswert, wenn man keine hohen Anspüche an sein Hotelzimmer stellt.

The staff were very friendly and the room and bed were very comfortable. The rooms were small but made to look modern and fun. The elevator was a nightmare and scared me to death. It was old and slow, I took the stairs. None of the doors really worked right. It was a struggle just to open the door, I couldn’t tell if it was locked or not. Same with that shared bathroom door. The bathroom wasn’t very clean it was hot and stuffy as well. The vanity area in the room was so dark and small that I couldn’t see what I was doing to my own face. No natural light from the window either being that it faced the walls of the building next to us. The air conditioner was loud and kept us up at times as well. The area of this hotel is strange, during the day you get a wide variety of mixed cultures walking around and they are all kind and normal, but at night we didn’t feel safe waking around and I’m totally comfortable with nyc at night. The people at night were creepy at best and would yell out at you as you walked by and would ask you odd questions and get in your face about it. I’m so glad I was with my boyfriend. We took taxis every other night to the hotel after that. Being that the security at the hotel was crappy (the bad door locks, manual /​actual keys) I was afraid someone would follow us up into are room. I felt anxious which isn’t how staying in nyc usually makes me feel. I got slammed with an almost $ 50 tax charge on my room at check in that I was not aware of either. We booked with
. All in all it was… OK… But to feel safe and to enjoy nyc I would recommend staying at pod 51 They too have shared bathrooms but everything is updated and modern. The area is beautiful, it’s cheap and they have a system that indicates when the bathroom is free and each floor in each room!

C’est une bonne alternative pour ceux qui souhaitent se loger à New York sans débourser une fortune ! Les lieux communs sont plutôt cosy même s’il y avait des problèmes d’eau dans les salles de bain quand j’y était.
Le dortoir en lui même est très simple et pas forcément chaleureux mais j’ai vu pire…
J’ai eu la chance d’y séjourner pendant un ouragan et du coup nous avons eu le droit d’organiser une petite soirée vraiment sympa dans le salon, un super souvenir !
Notre chambre ayant été inondée nous avons même eu le droit à un surclassement sans supplément.

Une auberge de jeunesse qui pour nous n’en n’était pas vraiment une puisque qu’on avait choisi l’option chambre double avec lit queen size et salle de bain séparée (pour le côté auberge, donc).
Niveau situation c’est honnête pour le prix, on né vous promet pas le centre des animations de Manhattan mais cette section de Broadway est vraiment agréable, bien fournie en magasins de proximité et restaurants d’appoint. On est à Time Square en 15 minutes, downtown en une demie heure environ.
Notre chambre donnait sur l’angle du bloc, donc super vue sur Broadway et la 101^st, avec trois fenêtres donc super luminosité dès que les stores sont levés. Le staff est super sympa pour la plupart (un peu awkward pour d’autres,) ils né manquent jamais de nous dire bonjour et au revoir quand on passé devant l’accueil même si ils doivent bien voir passer du monde.
De plus la salle commune est vraiment bien, canapés confortables pour s’affaler après une journée de marche pour checker ses mails, il y a un coin cuisine que je n’ai pas testé… (Oui c’était vraiment les vacances !).
Pour les points négatifs, un bruit nfernal du radiateur dans notre chambre, un craquement de bois toutes les 30 minutes, horrible les premières nuits et puis la fatigue aidant, on né l’a plus vraiment remarqué. Et puis la télé dans la chambre qui né fonctionne pas, pourquoi? Autant les enlever non ?
En résumé parfait pour les petits budgets qui né veulent pas mettre une croix sur Manhattan, quartier bien desservi, entre Harlem et midtown, lits confortables et wi if gratuite dans le hall !

O chuveiro do banheiro é horrivel! O hotel é um pouco antigo… fechadura é com chave e os armario são pequenos e sucateados. Elevador é antigo também. Bom o lounge, tem tvs, geladeira, computadores e microondas. Rola pub crawling as vezes, o que é bem legal. Localizaçao bacana, 3 quadras do subway e da pra ir a pe pro central park tambem.

Have stayed in my fair share of hostels but this one is by far one of my favorites. I mean, whats not to like about getting your own personal room and having to share singlet bathrooms. Not to mention there are about 3 – 4 single bathrooms on each floor and I never waited to use one. The bathroom to room ratio is on point. Not to mention that the location of this Hotel/​Hostel is phenomenal. The area is super quaint with plenty to do in walking distance and there are two subways; one a block away and the other about 3 blocks away.
The rooms were clean, room service everyday and you only have to pay to check your bags after you have checked out… if you show up early before you can check in — they don’t charge the fee. No place in NY can beat the price for the quality of this place… already planning my next trip back.
Thanks for such great hospitality!

Comfortable hostel near the Upper West Side. After reading some of the earlier reviews I was a little hesitant (first time in a hostel) but experienced no major issues aside from a fairly warm room due to the somewhat inefficient air conditioner. Bathrooms were clean (4 on my floor so I never had to wait). The lounge was comfortable, with a refrigerator, WiFi, and large screen tv. Despite being a light sleeper I had no problem sleeping at night due to noise. Although the location may seem far from downtown, the 1 train is two blocks away and can take you to Times Square in 15 minutes. The area felt very safe and there are many places to eat or grab coffee within a few blocks. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall I’d definitely recommend this hostel to anyone wishing to experience NYC on a budget.

I’ve stayed here twice. Once last month, an once two summers ago. Great value, and great accommodations. Your in New York so it’s not like you’ll be laying around all day reading a book, so what more do you need in a hotel room than a bed and a bath?
The only reason I deducted a star is because of the housekeeping. Don’t get me wrong– the housekeeping staff was great. I didn’t expect it so when I left the room my clothes were strewn in the floor (there’s not a dresser to unpack a weeks worth of clothes into) and there were several maps and brochures on the side of the bed in the floor. I came back and everything including my tickets and clothes had been moved. I’m sure other people would welcome the cleaning but the panic of «where’s my broadway tickets? Were these clothes in my ‘clean’ or ‘dirty’ pile?» Was a bit disconcerting. After that, each day I tried to leave the room neater and still came back to things rearranged and moved.

We stayed in a queen room and shared the restrooms dorm-​style. I honestly came with low expectations because the prices were so low, but I was extremely pleased with my stay there!
Pros:
Very close to subways (103^rd, 96^th) which get you downtown in a flash.
SAFE AREA. Though I was never alone, I would have no qualms if I was put in a situation walking around by myself at night. Very important for those traveling to a new city!
Clean! I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was surprised how clean the restrooms were. They have housekeeping similar to a typical hotel set up and they clean your rooms and the restrooms daily and you get fresh towels as well. (They kind of smelled funny so if I stayed here again, I might bring my own…)
Wonderful front desk help. I wish I had her name but she had a British (?) accent and was quick to help anytime we needed directions, advice, etc.
Comfortable beds.
Sink/​mirror in rooms.
Carpeted. And thank God for that because I’m a southern girl and going to NY in the middle of January + tile floors would have been brutal.
Cons:
The size of the room. Between the two of us, our luggage took up the majority of the floorspace and navigating through there was dangerous at some points. Getting up to get a drink of water at night proved to be a challenge. If they could somehow get a dresser of some sort in there, I think that would help a lot. If I stayed here again, which I may considering what I spent for four nights stay, I would try to get a larger room.
That was truly my only con!
This was not only my first time in NYC, but also my first time staying in a hostel and I am really glad I was able to experience both. If you are spending most of your time out exploring (it’s New York, who isn’t) then what is the point of spending hundreds of dollars for a room? If you’re on a budget this is perfect!
I would recommend this to a friend and will more than likely stay here again next time we visit.

Comment osent-​ils mettre «auberge» dans leur nom?! juste parce qu’ils ont des dortoirs? bah c’est la seule chose qu’ils ont!
Ils n’ont pas de cuisine hormis un micro-​onde et un mini four de la taille de 2 tranches de pain! pas toujours de couverts et d’assiettes (oui car se sont des jetables), pas de produit pour se laver les mains, pas de torchon pour s’essuyer les mains…
Pour la salle de bain c’est pareil, rien pour accrocher sa serviette à part le couvercle des toilettes, pas de papier pour s’essuyer les mains, des douches de dortoir salles… c’est juste dégeulasse!
Et le top du top a été quand ma copine a voulu utiliser les serviettes fournies par l’hotel qui avait ce qu’on pourrait appeler une «tache propre» de merde qui recouvrait toute la serviette, ils n’ont vraiment pas honte… je déconseille cet hotel à tout routard, on a essayé et ce sera la dernière fois!

All I can say is RUN! Run far far away. I’m serious. My views on this hostel may be a bit biased as it was my first time staying in a hostel. All I know is I did not get any sleep while there.
I ended up staying on the 3^rd floor right by the main door where everyone else staying on that floor enters to their hostel rooms. The hinges on the door must have been extremely old or broken so each and every single time someone entered or left the floor, all I would hear is SLAM! SLAM after SLAM after SLAM. All throughout the night. We called the lobby the next morning and asked them if we could change to another room or floor. They said they were totally booked and would send maintenance to fix it by the end of the day. At the end of the day, no changes.
It also didn’t help that the man staying in the room next to us smoked weed day and night. So that was the first smell I inhaled before I even put the key into my door to open it and see my room. Great first impression, I thought. The room is dimly lit (and I mean DIM to the max) to the point where it was hard to see anything when walking around such a small cramped room. The elevators do not light up so initially I thought it was broken but was later told that it in fact does. The hotel is run by a staff of young college students, so don’t expect them to be super professional or anything. And did I mention all I smelled was weed every time I entered my room? Yes, it was a nightmare come to life.
I have to say there were two things I liked about staying here. The lobby is clean and spacious with a small kitchen where you can heat food and watch some TV or use their free WIFI. The second was the price. At $ 30/​night it was a great way to travel on a budget. But still, I am so grateful that I got to switch to the Hilton Times Square for my last night in NYC. NEVER AGAIN!

I was looking for a cheap place to stay for my first time in New York and came upon The Broadway Hotel n Hostel. One of the best decisions ever!
I had never stayed at a hostel before so I was worried that I would have a bad experience there. Basically, the hostel is exactly what you see on the website and in the pictures! Everyone is really friendly and the staff is great! The staff is young and down to earth and they really take initiative into getting to know the guests. If you have any questions too about the city they are more than welcome to help.
I stayed in a dormitory type room, which was the cheapest (about $ 30 a night?). It had a bunk bed, a little sink, as a regular sized locker to fit something as big as a back pack in it (bring your own lock though). They do have a storage area where you can leave large personal belonging, but I do believe there is a small price for it. Also, for more important things such as passports and such, you can leave it with the front desk and they have a safe for those things. My roommate was wonderful she was from England and we had no troubles at all. The hostel cleans the room every day and they replace all your sheets and towels too. The only thing with the room was that it was a little cold at night but nothing too bad. There are four bathrooms on the floor I was on and they were really clean and were also cleaned everyday.
The common areas downstairs were a great way to meet people. They showed movies all day and had areas to sit and eat or just hang out. They had a mini kitchen area where you can put your food and microwave food as well. They do have wi-​fi, but it’s only available downstairs in the common areas, which was actually okay with me cause i was barely in my room, but some people were not happy about that. They do have computers and printers though as well. I didn’t use them so I’m not sure how it works with having to pay for them or not but they are available for the guests. Also, they have snacks for sell in the lobby too.
The hostel is a subway ride away from all the great places to see. The subway is only a few blocks away and i did come to new york alone so I felt the neighborhood was really safe for walking at night. There are restaurants and small shops and coffee shops within walking distance. My overall experience here was great! I recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap place to stay in New York. I mean I suppose I have nothing to compare this place to since it was my first hostel, but it was a good first experience for me.

Pour tous ceux qui cherchent un plan pas cher pour dormir sur Manhattan (upper west side). Situé à l’angle de Broadway et de la 101 st, juste à 2 blocs du métro 103 (ligne 1) ou à 5 blocs du métro 96 (lignes 1,2 et 3).
Au Broadway Hotel and Hostel il y a:
— des dortoirs
— des chambres simples
— des chambres doubles avec lits simples
— des chambres doubles classiques
Le tout avec ou sans douches et toilettes dans les chambres selon les prix. Pour 30 $ la nuit (ce qui relève du miracle sur Manhattan), j’ai testé les chambres doubles avec lits simples (parfait quand on voyage entre amis) et sans sanitaires dans la chambre (j’aurais dû réserver plus tôt !), je né peux que recommander le Broadway Hotel & Hostel !!!
Le service est très agréable, les chambres sont faites tous les jours et les sanitaires (très propres) 2 fois par jour. Ils proposent aussi des sèches cheveux, fers à repasser en échange du passeport durant le prêt.
Le wi-​fi est accessible gratuitement dans l’accueil et depuis certaines chambres (ce qui était mon cas !)
On peut rejoindre le Riverside Park et bien sûr Central Park en quelques minutes de marche !
L’étoile manquante? Le prix par bagage (2 $) pour garder mes sacs entre le check-​out et le départ pour l’aéroport (2 heures environ…)

Here for a week, and the stay is nothing but great. It’s a lot I’ve observed so I’ll try and make the review easy by doing a simple pro/​con breakdown.
Pro:
–Staff is friendly/​down-​to-​earth
–Clean environment (I checked for bedbugs thoroughly)-sheets are changed daily, and towels are provided.
–Yes, blankets are available.
–Heat WORKS! Don’t doubt that! I had my window open…
–FREE WIFI! Though it only works downstairs on the main level, which I think is meant to bring people together.
–Fridge/​Freezer/​Kitchen available to store your items
–24 hr convenient store next door and plenty of food places open til 5am in walking range.
–1 train only 2 blocks away, a 18min ride to Manhattan.
–Bathrooms are big, clean, and water pressure is intense enough to wake your a** up.
–Breakfast available, for about $ 1 per item.
–Lockers (bring your own big lock) that are full-​size
–Sink/​Mirror in room
–Cheap $ 160/​week
–Computers/​Printer/​Telephones available to use for $ 1 per 7minutes.
–Unlike most hostels, only 2 people per room. Beats sleeping with 15 others like NY loft hostel.
Con:
–Elevator is extremely slow and small, and you can only press one level at a time or it will go to what you last selected.
–Beds are uncomfortable since you can feel the springs, BUT not to the point where you can’t fall asleep.
–Pillows suck and are travel size/​flat. I went to Kmart at Penn Station and brought a Joe Boxer pillow for $ 4+
–No mirror in bathroom, but I guess that’s to keep people from staying in to long
–Taxes not included until arrival, which can be quite suprising-14.75% and $ 3.50 bed rate/​per day

I stayed 3 nights here and was pretty happy with it. For the price — it’s definitely worth it!
PROS:
— Although not in a prime location, it’s super close to the metro that gets you right into the heart of Manhattan in less than 15 minutes. It’s also a few blocks from Central Park!
— Super clean
— My dorm-​style room only had 2 beds, which made sharing completely doable
CONS:
— World’s SLOWEST elevator
— Sketchy showers (water pressure was comparable to those sprinklers we all used to run through as kids and I believe someone else must have been controlling my hot and cold water — just for fun ;)
— WiFi is only available in the lobby

This place could be really nice. It looks like they have been trying really hard to clean this place up, but my experience overall here has been pretty terrible.
Pros:
The lobby looks brand new and fully restored. The downstairs facility is very clean and looks really nice. The rooms are clean and the showers are really nice. This seems to be rare for hostels.
Cons:
When I first entered the building there was a HUGE sign that says VACATE and there was someone at the door, opening it so you couldn’t read it. Naturally, everyone asks what the sign is about and they give you some BS answer like they can’t have 4 people in a room anymore and they have to leave the sign up until the inspectors come approve it. After further research I found out that many of the rooms have BED BUGS and they had to fix the problem until they are able to take the signs down.
While I was here the elevator broke and I was on the 7^th floor! After many days of walking around NYC, I have to come back and walk up 7 flights up stairs… HOLY CRAP. That sucked!
The lobby is constantly playing super loud music, while others are watching TV (can’t even hear the TV over the music) and also it seems like the lounge area seems to attract European tourists that love to drink beer and talk really loud.
The cleaning staff cleans your room (its a hostel, so this sounds like a perk), but there is noway to keep them from cleaning it. There really isn’t anything to clean, but they just walk in and do it. There is no DO NOT DISTURB sign, so you are always scared they are going to steal your stuff.
Overall the experience was CLEAN, which is the most important thing a lot of people, but I found that this place was full of liars. If they were just honest about everything, I’d prob give them 4 stars.

I. LOVE. THIS. PLACE.
OK, I need to preface this review by saying that if you are on a VERY tight budget and looking for a HOSTEL (not a hotel) in NYC, then this place is absolutely as good as it gets. No, it is not fancy. No, it is not as comfy as a true hotel. Yes, you have to share bathrooms. Yes, you sleep in bunk beds in a bare room with nothing else but a sink and a couple lockers.
But seriously, what more do you need? If you’re going to be staying in your room for so much time that this matters to you, then find someplace else. But if you are in NYC to go explore and have fun, then this is just fine (and keep in mind, I’m a very spoiled and picky girl when it comes to where I sleep/​bathe).
This place is way up on the Upper West Side, and right on Broadway. It’s a nice, clean, safe area, and you’re only a couple blocks from the subway. Plus, because it’s on such a major street, it’s super easy to catch a cab if you don’t want to take the subway.
The rooms themselves are bare-​bones. The one set of bunks aren’t the most comfortable beds in the world and they make screeching noises which sucks for those of us who toss and turn a lot, however the rooms are *spacious* and you have room to spread out, which is more than I can say for lots of other hostels. You could easily fit at least one other bunk bed in here, but for some reason they limit it to just two people per room — fine by me!
There are indeed shared bathrooms, but this is unlike any other shared bathroom experience I’ve had at a hostel. Because there aren’t many rooms per floor, and only two people in each room, the four bathrooms on each floor are just fine. Each bathroom is single-​occupancy, and many of them are as comfortable as a bathroom you’d have in your home. Some have very nice modern tiles and showers. Actually, one of the nicest showers I’ve ever been in was at this hostel. Weird, right? Also, I’ve stayed at Broadway Hotel/​Hostel at least half a dozen times when it’s been completely booked, and only had to wait once or twice for a bathroom to free up – and even then it was only like a 2 minute wait.
The elevator is slow and very small, which is kind of awkward, especially if you are checking in/​out and have luggage, but it’s not a big deal. And the doormen are SO friendly about helping with luggage and just saying a warm greeting when you go through the lobby each day. There is also a lounge for people to mingle if they care to, and a bank of reliable computers so you can get online easily.
This isn’t the kind of hostel you go to if you’re a backpacker type that wants to meet people from all over the world and have crazy adventures, though. This is the kind of hostel you go to if you like your privacy and want some place quiet, clean, and SAFE to lay your head at night. I’ve stayed at hostels where I genuinely feared for my safety — this is not one of them.
Seriously, if you’re to spend more money on your entertainment than on your room, make your schedule out as far in advance as you can and book this place, because it’s starting to get more and more popular and harder to book.
