I have stayed there twice. I love it. You can't beat the location. It's very clean and the bathrooms are also. If you are going on the weekend book early enough as they sell out rather quickly. I plan on staying there everytime I visit NYC.

I hope I helped you.

I've stayed there twice as well. The rates are decent and the rooms are small but comfortable. The bathrooms are shared, but you can lock them while you're in there. Like DefyGravity said, make sure to book in advance, they fill up quickly, especially this time of year.

I stayed there once many years ago. The location is fantastic. The rates are great. It's small, but it's worth it. And it's across the street from a Starbucks, next door to a bar, and across the street from Bond 45, a delicious italian restaurant! What more can you ask for?

I've stayed there once too. It's obviously nothing fancy, but I guess for the price and awesome location I'd say it's quite worth it.

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

I stayed there 2 weeks ago. Great value if you are traveling alone. Clean, basic sleeping rooms (2 bunk beds per room) There are no lockers in the room but a cabinet holes your bags and I had no problems. The room was very warm.. Too warm. Even with the window open. There were 4 guys in my room and we all slept naked with just a sheet over us like you do in the summer – no need for the blanket.

Kitchen has 2 fridges and a stove. No Kettle, though. But I bought a cheap I LOVE NEW YORK mug and boiled water for my tea in the microwave. They have wireless Internet and two computers for $1 per 10 minutes for fast checking or messages.

I always find the others in these hostels friendly and easy to talk with. Someone was posting discount coupons for various Broadway shows on the bulletin board in the main hall. As long as you do not need hotel-like accommodations, it should do you just fine. And the price is great: $39 per night.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Just wondering if this hostel has been reopened. I noticed that dates are available on a booking site, but could not find any information about its reopening.

Has anyone stayed here recently? I was reading reviews on google and someone mentioned bedbugs - but that was 3 years ago.
I don't need anything fancy but definitely want somewhere that is clean. Thanks for any information you can provide!

If you haven't checked out THE OUT, you should definitely consider it. A room share is $99/night. Not bad at all. Clean, spiffy, and close to everything.
