Great location: walking distance from over touristic Union Square (about 10 mins walk) but not too close that you feel like you're in the middle of all the tourist traps. There are nice restaurants and cafes on the same street - not just chain like in/around the Square. I stayed in a private room with shared bathroom. This wouldn't normally... More

We stayed in a private room for 3 nights last September. The room was quite big and clean. Could easily have been a room in a hotel. The staff were friendly and approachable. The hostel is close to union sq and market making it easier to get around. The only negative is out of the hostels control and that is... More

Really comfortable and clean rooms - nicer than some hotels I have stayed in. Really great facilities - wifi, movie rooms, chill out area with pool tables, fully equipped kitchen.... More

After staying in the Hollywood USA Hostels I didn't think this would be as good, but it came pretty close! Nothing can really top Hollywood for me but still with that said, this hostel is excellent. The staff are extremely friendly and always willing to help you out and provide you with any information needed. The location is really central... More

This hostel really brought me back to my days backpacking around in Europe. Not only were the front staff friendly but they were also helpful and pointed out honest suggestions of what to do and get involved with. Stayed in a bunk room with a private bathroom, no issues with stolen items or noise ( other than a barfing pigeon... More

This is the first time I stayed in a hostel in my life. I am travelling for 9 weeks and thought I would give it a try. I stayed in a private room with bunk beds and found it to be very comfortable. Ear plugs that were left on the bed came in handy only on the first night when... More

Stayed here in a 4 bed dorm - great time, good staff and well located near Union Square. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was also nice, with pancakes and toast/cereals. We will be staying with their other hostel in LA in the next week as well.

The hostel is perfectly located just a few blocks from Union Square and with good bars and restaurants nearby (particularly if you're a sushi lover!) The facilities are excellent - breakfast is plentiful, dorms are comfortable, shared bathrooms are regularly cleaned, cooking and laundry facilities are ideal and there are hairdryers and irons available for use. Staff are helpful and... More

The hostel is near union square, but subway station and restaurants are little far. It's a worst problem in this hostel. But, beds and hot baths are good. Breakfast is so so. (especially, apple juice) So, I think that it is not bad for brief trip, but location and breakfast cause problem in long stay
