If possible, get the 6 person room with the private bathroom. The pods were roomy and comfy, all controls were inside (lights, charging ports, sockets) and you could lock and unlock your pod from your phone. Was close to public transportation and a choice of restaurants all around. Central Park was a stones throw away. I will definitely be staying there again. Wasn't overly expensive, well worth the price paid.

Great location next to Central Park North with easy subway access and food nearby. Hotel lobby was clean and a very nice place to sit and relax, read, whatever. Upper bunk was a little challenging to climb in and out of, and the showers were a little small, but other than that, I would DEFINITELY stay here again.

Great location right next to Central Park. Subway station 3 blocks away. The sleeping pods are very nice. Plenty of room even for a six footer. My only problem was the 5 flights of stairs to reach my room.

Everything was great, and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were friendly, smiling, and caring — I almost felt like I was at home. The location is excellent, in a really good area. The sleeping capsules were comfortable as well. The only small downside was that inside the capsule area near the doors, there was some trash left behind. Other than that, I can definitely recommend this place. Price, quality, and location — 10/10. Thank you for the hospitality!

I really enjoyed the area and being steps away from Central Park! Coffee shops, restaurants and transit nearby! The 2 person room was small but I didn’t spend much time there and I happened to get a very quiet and respectful roommate! The capsule was fun and equipped with lighting inside and charging ports. I loved the NY bagel breakfast with coffee and fruit which was complimentary every morning! Overall a great stay! I would like to go back!!
Entrance to Central Park 1/2 a block away from the Kama Central Hostel Hotel.
Complimentary breakfast!!

The sleep pods are nice and provide a comfortable sleep environment. The bathrooms are clean and the showers as well. Nice place to stay on a budget in NYC. There is plenty of places near by to get food. And it’s right off Central Park which is convenient. The Subway is only a short walk and easy to get to.
