I stayed in this hostel for one week in a four bed room. I was very happy with my stay. The location is perfect, the rooms are clean, it doesn't cost that much and the staff was helpful. If a basic accommodation is ok for you, then I can totally recommend this hostel! more

Perfect....

Booked a private room. Clean, they repalced bed sheets everyday. Bathrooms were cleanier than i expected. 4 Rooms share 2 bathrooms. Despite some reviews of the front desk being rude: not for us. Great location. Half a block to times square. Great cafe next door, Cranberry Cafe. Front desk does a good job on checking people as they walk in... more

Stayed here for 4 nights in October. Rooms were on the small side, but you cannot complain about the location - literally 2 minutes from times square - brilliant. The shared bathrooms were cleaned everyday and had a good shower. Staff were friendly and helpful. There was a small safety deposit box behind the desk, only big enough for documents,... more

Decent condition hostel, just don't expect hotel standards. Great price considering the premier location. Cross your fingers you don't end up sharing bathrooms with a bunch of teenage girls - I know what you're thinking, but NO! It's not worth the hazzle... more

I have stayed at Big Apple twice now ((Nov 2008, Oct 2009) and will be back again. The location for a theatre fan is just perfect, steps from Times Square and the heart of the Broadway Theatre District. The rooms are clean, small but comfortable. Limited to 4 persons per room it's an ideal size. The staff seemed to go... more

I stayed in this hostel for 3 days and it is the best located hostel I have ever stayed in. As for Service, it is the worst. I will never understand why people who have no interest or intention of being helpful, and actually find it annoying would take a job in a Hostel. Shame on all the rude staff... more

It's located in the center of MANHATTAN. It's a stone's throw from Central Park and Empire State Building. I Love this Hostel more

I spent a week at this hostel and the location for the price alone was worth it. The rooms were quiet except maybe for the very loud AC unit. They were basically bunk beds and nothing else. The halls and common areas were extremely cramped and as it was summer and very hot, they were not air-conditioned which made it... more
