Economy is okay.

The cost or a bed was minimal - and you get what you pay for. The elevator worked. My room was tidy, internet worked in the common room, and bed adequate. Shared bathrooms always have shower issues. Overall, I felt safe.

2/10 Poor

The top bed was covered in who knows what. You don’t get blankets for r towels and the internet does not go to floor 2. I pod $260 in December. I am at a loss for words as to the condition of this place. It should not be rentable. I can’t believe hotels.com has this listed. I feel fooled. The ONLY thing nice about this place was the 3 staff I encountered. 2 guys that worked the desk and 1 cleaner, they were very kind polite people.

They should do a deep clean in the water dispenser, small insects in it... and some cockroaches were in the bathroom. The rest is ok 👍

2/10 Poor

Central Park West Hostel-New York, misrepresents itself as being a clean, inviting, and comfortable hostel. In fact, there is infestation of roachs in the common/kitchen/lounging area=a small all purpose area. There were roaches in the bathroom area as well. The staff were pleasant and helpful, but the accomodations were a lot to be desired. I will not recommend this hostel.
