Sleeping pods, bed first night was bad but they let me switch rms. Staff was nice. Common areas were decent, liked that everywhere is basically a quiet area. There is a club nextdoor that goes to 1 am on Saturdays but the hostel does provide earplugs and eye masques. It did kind of smell like sleep, would be better if they had air filters. If you dont want to spend a lot ir just want a place to sleep this is a decent choice, right next to Chinatown and Little Italy...

The rooms themselves are comfortable and common areas are cute and cozy. However, if you’re at all a light sleeper, good luck. The doors to the rooms slam shut loudly and people come and go at all hours of the night so you hear it constantly. My neighbor also snored and they might as well have been in the same room as me, with how the sound travels.
