Ezana, 4-night trip

Great place

Probably the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Clean, secure, and had wonderful amenities and activities. Also had all female dorms which was a huge plus
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great home base for solo travelers

Solo traveled to NYC for 4 nights. The place has everything you need. Bed w/blanket, towels, shower, water station. The main floor has a couple of lively comfy hang out spots aswell, and since the majority of others are also solo, I found myself talking to strangers regularly. Very comfy environment

10/10 Exceptional

Great for budget travelers

Surprisingly wonderful! Very clean and quiet. Stayed in an 8 bed dorm. Everyone was respectful of each other. Bed was comfortable with a privacy curtain, charger and light. Lockers were available to store luggage and/or valuables. Lots of food options from low to high end in immediate vicinity. Close to subway stations and easily accessible to mid/downtown neighborhoods. I would absolutely recommend this to those traveling on a budget.
