    Good for a short stay 2-3 days The location is easy to access The restroom are always clean It wasn’t comfortable that it is mixed genders, even though I know the rooms are small they were even smaller than expected

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Overall nice and clean place to saty. The most important thing are the small but separate PODs which provide you complete privacy. Toilet area could be improved, in terms of space and number of toilets.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Great and welcoming vibe. Quiet and safe.

    Interfaith Retreats was a great option for my trip - I was arriving early and needed a one-night solo stay to fill the gap of our group's reservation. It was a super short walk from the train station and the staff were all very friendly. The rooms are private and small - about the size of 1.5 twin beds - but thoughtfully designed with plenty of storage space under the bed for luggage, an adjustable lamp with a USB charger, a plug, hooks for jackets or backpacks, and they provided earplugs and towels and had a fan available to use. The pillows were actually a bit better than standard hotel pillows, which was a pleasant surprise! Each room is open to the ceiling so noise definitely travels between rooms but on the whole other guests were quiet and courteous. The temperature control was also pretty good - it was a bit on the warm side but overall comfortable. The room locks, as does access to each floor, and the keys you're provided will buzz you into the building, open both floors, and open your own room, so security was well-thought out. The bathroom was a separate room and the stalls were narrow but functional. They had apples and bananas, bagels, breads and nut butters available for breakfast or to eat anytime, which was perfect for me. There wasn't any shampoo/conditioner in the shower I used and the shower was also not in a separate room from the rooms on my floor, so it felt like I'd probably wake up other guests if I showered (I got in pretty late). A lot of the apples were also pretty bruised up, but I couldn't say if that was because of guests or not.

    The staff was nice, they cleaned the toilets/showers, i think, a few times a day. At least it seemed like that. The room is small but it totally works out!

    The location is convenient. However,

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Very pleasant staff and guests, which was great because there is no acoustical privacy. The small visually private cell has no ceiling, and is one of a couple of dozen sharing a large room with a communal eating area. Guests were private; except someone who walked around with heavy steps till 2am. noise till late. bed was just big enough and I'm only 5'8"..

  • Engine customer May 2026

    its on a perfect location, close to Madison Square

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Of course, if someone does not observe the night silence rule and you inform the reception, they will follow up quickly.

    The location

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    They are very helpful.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    This was an amazing find, the beauty of this place is the location and the bathrooms, 2nd floor has 3 toilets a 2 showers, the staff puts out toiletries including razors and pads. Something to consider is that you hear everything, most people understand that and keep the volume to the minimum and others don’t and still are loud.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Stayed for 1 night and it was perfect! Loved the quiet time hours, set a relaxing mood after the craziness of what NYC offers. A good reset. Traveled alone and never felt discomfort.

    O lugar é limpo e oferece café, pão doce e salgado. Acho que pode melhorar o atendimento, No meu check in fui atendido por 01 senhor magro e alto, infelizmente não lembro o nome, ele não foi nada simpático, dava a impressao que estava cansado, estressado, pra quem está chegando não é uma boa recepção. Apesar do lugar vender uma vibe zen, não senti isso nos dias que lá fiquei. As pessoas não se conectam, não tem diálogo, não dão e vem respondem um simples bom dia. Esse mesmo rapaz que me recepcionou estava num dia no café da manhã, dei bom dia não respondeu, sempre de cara fechada. As pessoas falam sussurrando, da a impressão que falar num tom de voz normal é proibido. Bom falar também dos dois lances de escadas que dão acesso ao hostel, se tiver com mala grande pode ser um perrengue.Demsis funcionários foram educados, principalmente um rapaz novo e uma mulher oriental. Outro ponto é o banheiro, sai pouca água no chuveiro, nada que atrapalhe mas poderia melhorar e um último ponto é o colchão que não é tão confortável, pra 2 ou 3 noites no máximo.

    Great value for money and good service Alarms go off pretty early in the morning so you tend to wake up

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Very friendly staff and nice breakfast Nothing

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Breakfast is good, too. My room was on the second floor, across from the bathroom. Whenever someone goes up to the second floor, the doors slam very loudly, and I wake up every time. I think no one on the floor was able to sleep.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Very good Like everything

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Top! Hele leuke ervaring, ontzettend fijne sfeer en ‘‘s nachts stil (tussen 20.00 en 08.00 moeten gasten stil zijn). Om de hoek van alle drukte.

    The staff is helpful.
