Have more people on site and TRAIN THEM
If there is an issue with a customer on site. Half the time I was told the supervisor is on vacay in Alaska (which is fine) and only they know how to operate the system. Anything can happen you guys come on
Overall, my stay here met my expectations for what staying at a hostel and sharing space with other guests would be like. Your mileage may vary based on who else is also a guest at the time, with regards to noise levels and cleanliness of shared bathrooms, but I had a great stay. I came into town for work and knew I wouldn't be spending a ton of time in a bedroom, so the space and ease of access exactly fit my needs. I'd stay here again if I get another opportunity to visit NYC!

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
The person that greeted us at our arrival was very helpful and provided us with all of the required information promptly. The common areas and bathrooms were very clean contrary to our room (3E) which had spider webs hanging from the ceiling, carpet was stained, walls need a fresh cleaning and probably a new coat of paint. Bed mattress and linings were so so.

Small room, which was incredibly hot all night and had no option to change the temperature.
Very noisy all night from the street below and the hostel itself.
Would recommend for 1/2 night stays as it’s in a good location but definitely not for longer as it didn’t feel worth the money for lack of comfort/space.
The guys who checked you in were awesome. The facility was super clean. Would definitely stay there again.

Towels were never delivered. The room was extremely cold, walls were filthy as was the area rug amd padded chair with multiple stains. Would not take much to make it clean.
First i'm a former NY resident so my comfort level in the city may differ from yours. That said, this is a repurposed apartment building into individual hostel-like units great for single travelers, relatively quiet and walkable to the metro and theater area.
The Bad: The check-in, for crying out loud. I waited an hour with two other fellow travellers for someone to appear to check us in. From reviews, this seems to be common. The maddening thing is given the codes used to enter the hostel and your room, this is an easy fix.
To the Lamartine: Fix it stat. All you have to do is send the code to the room to the guest and tell them the front door code is their phone number. Instead each night I found stranded travelers scratching their head on how to check in.
