Offered to stay in the lobby
they over booked so we were told to sleep in the lobby or go somewhere else at 1am. The lobby already had 3 people sleeping in it and it was a tiny closet like room. No refunds for their mistakes either

Not as bad as some say
People have been a little hard on this place. Yes it is pretty low-end but does have the basics. They are right to say bring your own towel and blanket though. And soap for hand/shower

Worst accommudstion of my life.
The hostel was super ditry and bad smelling. Cockroaches running around everywhere. I wouldn't even stay there for free, but I must because I spent more than a 100$/night. They should close down the whole place. Everything was in terrible condition. The bedsheets had more hair on them than clean spots.

The people who run this place are nice enough but they need to do a far better job maintaining the place. They should make sure toilet paper and soap is stocked up in every bathroom, air blowers are functioning, and that the showers are consistently cleaned.

8/10 Very Good

It's a place if you need a place in NYC, it is close to Central Park or opposite direction the river walk. Location is great. And close to a main artery Subway station. However lacking in areas. Smaller rooms, one of the toilets I had to beg to flush, cleaning staff may have been on vacay, it's an older building, the common area was, They do have a coffee machine, vending machine, a large shared refrigerator for food ( I didn't see anywhere to cook besides a microwave) a fun map with pushpins in it, and a community room futon. Price was excellent for NYC. I am glad it was available for me to book while in town.Thank You Central Park West Hostel.

2/10 Poor

Unfortunately the whole property is in very poor condition with unsanitary restrooms, dirty showers and the rooms themselves smell like urine with clearly used bed sheets. The description promised body wash etc., but not even soap was provided. Also the “air conditioning” can hardly be called that, it was hot the entire night. The common room was a mess too, with dirty furniture and trash laying around. Because of this situation I wasn’t able to sleep and checked out around 4 am. Sorry, but that’s a definite no for me.

The staff is helpful but the facilities are pretty bad the door lock system has only one key which is only accessible by the staff so you cant keep going and coming back to the room without being escorted by the staff member.

The property is older and feels run down. There was an odor (urine?) in the elevator. They didn’t have keys for any of the rooms because their system was “down.”. You had to be escorted to your room by the front desk person - that meant WAITING for someone to come to the desk. Sometimes, I had to wait 10 minutes. Overall, I would not recommend and will not return.

Tek ranzalı odada kaldım. Asyalı bi abi vardı altta. Yatak rahat ve temizdi gördüğümce yine de yastığa havlu serdim ama iyiydi. Kilit takılabilen dolap var ama biraz dar tek karış genişliğinde ağzı. Tuvalet elimi yüzümü yıkadım sadece temizdi iyiydi, terlik varsa duş alabilirsiniz.

The listing doesn't list many amenities which I did not expect with the budget I was on, but my room smelled like a litter box which gave me a headache and I could not get the few hours of sleep I paid for, there was no soap in the bathroom to wash my hands, and there wasn't any hot water so I got to embrace military roots in taking a cold shower. Overall it was not worth the money. Thank God He allowed me to drepen my appreciation of all the blessings that I do have.

Upon arrival I was given a bed. When I went to the room there was someone else in the bed they gave me. Then I was given another bed in an other room. The next night I came back to someone sleeping in my bed. I had to gather my stuff in a completely dark room and be given another bed! 🙃 they only had cold water and provide no soap or towels. Avoid this place!
