Very good hostel experience. Property offered a lot of open spaces for meeting and doing activities. Also offered a range of NYC experiences you could sign up for, and reasonably priced cafe for breakfast/lunch items. Was a bit of a backup in the bathrooms for sink space at times, but in a shared space you just have to plan for that in advance.
