i had a pleasant stay at interfaith retreats. it's conveniently located near penn station, making it easy to get around. the hostel is clean and tidy. perfect for solo travelers like me.

the single pod rooms are a bit small, so tall folks might feel cramped.

The location is close to public transportation, making it easy to explore. Staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The place has a cozy lounge area perfect for relaxation and socializing. I enjoyed the vegetarian breakfast offerings available at all hours. It felt very secure.

The single pod room was a cozy yet compact space, perfect for solo travelers seeking a quiet retreat. The lounge area was inviting and well-stocked with breakfast items, including boiled eggs, making mornings enjoyable. Engaging in volunteer work for the local homeless community added a heartwarming touch to the stay. However, the walls of the room did not reach the ceiling, which could lead to noise disturbances, and it might feel cramped for those expecting more space.

The cozy lounge area felt like my favorite living room, with soft lighting that invited relaxation. It was easy to navigate, making me feel comfortable while enjoying my stay.

More comfortable seating in shared bathrooms would help.

I had a chill week in a Single Pod Room and loved using the cozy lounge and library for some downtime after a busy day. The communal vibe here made it easy to unwind, but the bed felt pretty uncomfortable, almost like sleeping on a box spring. Overall, it was a good spot for budget travelers, just pack a comfy mattress pad! 😊

It was just an appropriate option for one night in New York with attractive and competitive value for money. The helpful staff member found me a spare room late at night after my check-in troubles. Bring ear plugs if you want a good night's sleep!

The cozy lounge area with soft lighting was a delightful escape, making my stay feel homely and welcoming. I appreciated the easy access to dining options and the friendly staff that goes above and beyond for everyone.

Better seating in showers for comfort.

Cozy ambiance with great staff support

My stay was enjoyable, particularly because of the cozy lounge area that offered a welcoming escape. I loved the friendly staff who were exceptionally helpful, especially when I struggled with my luggage. Additionally, the daily cleaning kept the space tidy, but I do wish there were more comfortable seating options in the showers for better relaxation.

Just a solid selection for a concise stay in New York with great value-to-price ratio. The setup had its quirks, but I slept well despite being near the common area. If you're a light sleeper, consider bringing earplugs.

A Peaceful Solo Stay with Room for Improvement

I enjoyed my solo retreat, finding tranquility in the cozy single pod room. The shared bathrooms were clean, but larger chairs for belongings would enhance convenience. Don’t miss the serene communal areas, perfect for reflection. Consider bringing your own pillows for extra comfort!

The location was unbeatable with everything from delicious restaurants to a handy 7-Eleven just steps away! My pod was super secure, and waking up to fresh fruit every day felt like a little slice of paradise! I’m pretty sure I’ll dream about those hot showers for weeks to come!

Totally recommend! ❤️😊
