Literally the best place to spend the night. The staff is so welcoming, and super friendly. This is my third time staying at Kama and it’s the best decision every single time. The bathrooms are always clean, very affordable and comfortable. Love Kama!

Guillermo, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Affordable and convenient option, they were doing some kind of construction so it was a little loud after 8am but otherwise other guests were very quiet at night. Pod beds were comfortable and it was nice to have the added privacy. I enjoyed that there was a coffee shop on the property.

Great for a single night stay! Easy check in; easier checkout. Very walkable!

Female-only dorm. Plenty of shower & toilet facilities. Good security. Good cafe with outdoor patio. Breakfast, lunch & dinner available. Wish there were better commons lounge areas.

Great for the price, exactly what I was looking for.
Roger, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location was quiet enough to get a good night's sleep, and all the other guests seemed respectful of that. Appreciate the desk being staffed by approachable, helpful people all through the day and night. It's a great location for the subway downtown in no time, but also for access to the park. Good to come back in the early evening after a crazy day out and about, get changed and go jog in Central park, just a minute away, come back, warm shower and head a few blocks over to loads of restaurants and bars.
Brian, 7-night trip

Very nice place for a good price
Ian, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staying here was simple, quiet and clean. Staff were welcoming. I loved that there is a kitchen and I loved the quirky character of the place.
Adrianna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place. I stayed at HI Hostel the night before, and I prefer the completely enclosed 'pods' at Kama and how it locks, so it can also act as your luggage storage. Only issue I had was that there are ONLY two USB ports inside the bunk, and they both seemed broken - they would not charge my phone fast enough and it died while charging.

GOOD PLACE
Dorine, 3-night trip

It's not quiet, the doors in the hallway are loud. The shower area is very small and the drain is clogged.
