Hotel Details

Location

Located in central Manhattan, 480 metres from Penn Station and 300 metres from Madison Square Garden.
The hostel is a three-minute walk from Penn Station (serving Amtrak, NJ Transit, and subway lines A, C, E), making it an ideal base for train arrivals or exploring the city by subway. The Empire State Building is 900 metres away, and many Midtown attractions, including Times Square, are within a 15-20 minute walk. LaGuardia Airport is 11 km away; JFK offers a direct subway connection of about 70-90 minutes. Nearby dining includes Tick Tock Diner (0.5 km), Keens Steakhouse (1 km), and several pizza and deli options within a few blocks. The area is safe and well-lit, with a supermarket (7-Eleven) just 0.5 km away.

Dining

Free self-service continental breakfast available 24 hours a day.
The included breakfast consists of fruit (bananas, apples, oranges), bread and toast with jam, cereal, milk, butter, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and homemade scones. The spread is vegetarian with vegan options and available around the clock in the common area. There is no full hot breakfast or restaurant, but guests can use the shared kitchen to prepare their own food. Several nearby cafés and restaurants (e.g., Tick Tock Diner, Keens Steakhouse, La Gusto Pizza) offer fuller meals within a short walk.

Leisure

The property focuses on quiet, spiritual retreat rather than active leisure facilities.
There is no gym, pool, or spa on site. A chapel and shrine are available for meditation and reflection, reflecting the hostel's interfaith mission. The common lounge/TV area provides a space to relax with free tea and fruit. The atmosphere is intentionally calm and quiet, with a no-party policy enforced.

Amenities

Free Wi-Fi, 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, and a shared kitchen are available.
Wi-Fi is free and reliable throughout the property. The 24-hour front desk offers concierge service, express check-in/check-out, and private check-in/out. Luggage storage is available for a fee of $5 per bag per day; storage on arrival and departure days is free. A shared kitchen is available for guest use. Iron and ironing board are available in the common area. The property is secured with CCTV, key access, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers. No lift is available - stairs only. The hostel does not provide airport transfers; public transport from all major airports connects at Penn Station.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Choose a top bunk or a room away from the common area if you are sensitive to noise, as the open ceiling design means sound carries across the entire space.

  • 02

    Use the free luggage storage (available from 7:30 AM on arrival until 9 PM on departure) to explore the city without your bags.

  • 03

    Plan to pay in cash on arrival if preferred - a credit card is needed only to hold the reservation.
