밤에는 좀 춥고 에어컨도 빵빵해서 외국인들이 좋아해요.

I’ve had a great experience, everyone was friendly especially the staff. The rooms were clean, the building was safe. Honestly it has all you need if you just need a room to sleep in the heart of manhattan. My only comment is that my legs didn’t fit in the bad as it was a little small for me ( btw I’m 6.1)

I just spent three nights at this interesting hostel in NY. I enjoyed it very much. I ended up booking myself into this place because of the crazy prices of hotels in NY. And what a pleasant surprise! Of course, you have to be ready for a different experience. It is NOT a regular hotel. It suitable only for people travelling alone and you have to be happy with the basic minimum. No luxury at all. But you get a clean "pod" with everything you need for a good night sleep. Despite the pod being individual, soundwise you are not completely isolated from the other pods and so you are able to listen to anything is said in the other pods including.....snoring!:-) But nothing that a set of earplugs (provided by the management) cannot solve. And people are very respectful and keep quiet. The shared restrooms and showers are perfectly functional and clean. The 24/7 breakfast is simple but sufficient (plenty of fruit, cereals, juice, milk, yogurt). No coffee! Only tea and hot chocolate. And the spiritual touch invites you to meditate about what is important in life (books provided in your pod) and how many things we have are simply not necessary. If you are ready for something different and like travelling of the beaten tracks and do not need luxury....this could be your place! Plus...location is amazingly convenient. Literally 5 min walking from Penn station. And if you want to experience a Knicks game (as I did!), you just walk to the MSG. The staff is very nice and helpful.

Sweet place, quiet, simple, clean, friendly staff. I stayed a few nights at Interfaith Retreats. They had a nice breakfast and also let me store my luggage before and after my arrival for free. It was also in the heart of the city, so that was a plus.

This is a VERY basic place - each 'pod' is smaller than a queen sized mattress - and open at the top, meaning you can hear your neighbor snore. And the pods are on the 2nd and 3rd floors up a steep flight of stairs - not recommended for those in poor shape. And I'd guess that they're not in compliance with basic fire safety - I never saw an alternate exit sign.

The location was great, people were nice and the place was clean. My only complaint, someone started to facetime their family at 5:45 a m. Everyone could hear her. It says there is a quiet rule from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Wish they would've enforced it. Once someone would ask her to be quiet, she would but then would call someone else. It lasted over 2 hours.
