I recently got a good job in Brooklyn, and didn't want to lean to much on my friends in new york. I thought this would be a reasonably cheap alternative to couch surfing. I've traveled all over the world and stayed in all kinds of places and thought I could pretty much handle anything life threw at me. after working... more

You have been warned with all these bad reviews. I just wished I would have read them before I made the mistake of staying at the Glenwood. Bed bugs, Mice, Rats are all waiting for you when you check into this hell hole. Living on the street would be better. I have no clue how this place is allowed to... more

Where to start? This is one of the worst experiences of my traveling life. I have stayed in a lot of hostels, as well as working in two for an extended amount of time.

This place is absolutely disgusting. We stayed the first night upon arriving very late and not being too sure about the neighborhood. Put another way -... more

i bet this is clear from the other reviews, but DO NOT STAY HERE. I would rather sleep on the street. Me and my friends came there and just had to leave right away. can't believe this place is on most websites. A few key words to keep you off this place: trash drugs homeless people bugs smoke noise more

I found myself in a pickle right after new year's, and it was in the neighborhood I was in, so I figured I could take it for a night. Hey, it had internet, so I could use that to find another place, right? Holy moly, I have never experienced such a hellhole such as this. And me, little miss down... more

NYC is always booked up or really expensive, so my bf and I decided to stay just outside Manhattan and experience "real New York" something other than the typical NYC. We found a resaonably cheap hostel in Brooklyn that seemed great online. the price was great, only $US55 for the room per night. the reviews and website online show off... more
