The location

Nice room, clean place.

Unfortunately, I woke up with my left arm covered in bed bug bites! For a hostel this large and busy, it's going to be near-impossible to get rid of the bed bugs. The neighborhood is light industrial, it's not unsafe, it's just kind of bleak.

I stayed in a 5-person room, which was fine - there were 3 individual beds and 1 bunk bed. It's a social hostel, with a game room and common area. It's about a 15 minute walk to the L and J/M trains, and 30-ish minutes to Midtown Manhattan.

Room equipped with one too few lockers.

The walk to and from the hostel is a bit scary, especially at night. Of course this is NYC,which is expected but still.... Also a bit far away from all the activities.

The decor is bright and noisy, good to brighten people's mood. Adam the staff is very friendly and helpful in storing my luggage and suggested the best route to go to Staton Island ferry. The rest areas and kitchen are spacious. Furniture need some upgrade.

There were a bunch of tiny bugs on the ceiling in the shower.

I stayed in a women's four room dorm, and the room was quite spacious. I was surprised it wasn't bunk beds. The bathroom was incredibly large and facilities seemed in good repair. There was a table and chairs in the room, and a standalone closet in addition to the lockers, so some nice conveniences. Public space on the first floor looked comfy and cozy. Close enough to a couple subway lines and some bus lines, plenty of nearby restaurants, a bodega right at the end of the block, so convenient for whatever.

Good transport but a slight walk from station. Can be noisy

Great hostel, helpful friendly staff, plenty of space and ensuite in rooms, good guest kitchen

It is a hostel, so no TV in the room :-) Our room was street side. Sometimes it was a bit noisy due to passing trucks or airplanes approaching the airport. Not too bad with closed windows, though.

Great location to explore NY with 3 train stations and nice cafes nearby. The entire hostel (like its neighborhood) is decorated with artistic graffiti, which offers a unique experience during the stay in Brooklyn.

For a first-time traveler, the neighborhood looks dangerous but in the end, it seems it's not. The beds were not private at all, annoying when somebody turns the lights on. I could hear the noise from the hallway, especially when people checked in the early morning.

Cheap price for New York, the subway can take you anywhere in the city. There are plenty of restaurants and shops to buy food nearby.

Well maintained Hostel, good staff at check in.

Room was right in front of the building so lots of street noise from idling trucks and people talking outside of the building. Make sure to bring earplugs and eye mask and you will have no problems.

Hostel was very clean and the front desk was helpful and nice. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. AC in the room was perfect.

The room and bathroom echoed like crazy so you could loudly hear everything everyone did. Even though we all tried being quiet I couldn't sleep without earplugs. Any movement was amplified. They really need rugs to dampen the sound. Also, my lamp didn't work and it was hard to find outlets to charge my devices. I wish they had lamps with USB charging ports. And because the drawers and lockers were all metal, they were especially loud in the sound-amplifying room. Locks were not provided. The person at the counter who checked me in did not explain that there was a lounge or coffee room, or what the wifi password was. The iron stairs & catwalk to get to room 209 are rusted‐‐and again, very noisy.

The walls were covered floor to ceiling with great art. The bed was comfortable. The lounge and kitchen were convenient and large. People I met there were friendly and courteous. The bathroom was large with a fancy shower.

The location isn’t great. I was in the other building and lowkey the railing outside looked like it would break with my heavy luggage.

It was good for the price. The bed was clean and so was the bathroom. Staff were nice and helped with my questions.

I wish for the outside there was something to limit the weed smell coming from the smoking area that was near the room. maybe some roofing or something like that. So as it doesn't limit smokers but it doesn't filter into the rooms as much.

Crew. cleanliness of the room and bathroom graffiti and artwork

Morgan Av Station and the path from / to the hostel through Morgan Av Station. The Morgan Av Station and surroundings looks sketchy without not many people around (or almost no one around). But you can always choose Montrose Avenue Station for the access because it look and feel safer compared to the Morgan Av Station.

7 minutes walk from Montrose Avenue Station (Subway L). I choose the access through Montrose Avenue Station because the station and the path to the hostel seems safer compared to the Morgan Av Station which make me feel unsafe when walking to/from the hostel. However, the hostel have everything you need as a backpacker. They have computer room, game room, living room?, smoking space, kitchen, coffee & tea etc. All the staff are super friendly. The room are clean with spaces and privacy. A locker for your bags too, of course. But remember to bring your own lock. They offers luggage storage service for free as long as you pick the luggage before 10PM after check out. Though I didn't stay out late night since I am concern about the safety around the hostel but I had a good sleep every night so love my stay there. Thank you all especially to Nico who let me check in early. Wish you guys have a good day!!

They don't give you locks for the lockers. They make you buy them. Seems like they should just be complimantary.

It was my first time at a hostel. Overall good. Just not that comfortable with strangers sleeping across from me.

The nearby neighbourhood seemed a bit doubtful, but in the end, it turned out to be quite safe.

The place exceeded my expectation. With such a price in Brooklyn, the place is clean, safe, friendly, and interesting; very well organized and managed.

It was noisy at the morning as there was a garage in front of the hostel repairing big truck.

Very clean and spacious

I made a mistake and booked the wrong dates. The front staff gave me 0 trouble changing dates and did not charge me anything for rebooking. Very pleased with the service. The lounge with free coffee and wall art is nice. Otherwise good dorm style hotel.
