Candy Hostel

It was exactly what you would expect from a hostle. I got a single room, it was fairly clean, the bathroom was very clean. My complaints would be that it says free wi-fi which is one of the reasons I chose this one, because I need to watch tv to fall a sleep. When I got into my room I didnt get internet. When I went downstairs to talk to someone, they said that the only place that got internet was in one room in the building. Also, the soda machines were hardly stocked and none had water, and the hotel provided no cups, so basically there was no way to get water. Other then that it was decent for the price, and location. Even though I realized since that if I travel 20 minutes outside of the city I can get a nice hotel in jersey with all the anemities for a cheaper price.

The hostel itself was nice, despite the uneven steps that I could never get used to. I would have liked to know before going all the way to 94th street that I would instead be staying at the Sky hostel on 83rd street. I also didn't really appreciate that they decided to change the rooms around before checkout. I had (luckily) just finished getting dressed when some random guys came in to take a bed out of the room. It also would have been nice if the cleaning ladies had waited until I was actually gone to strip my bed. I was barely done packing and still had almost an hour to go. I felt very rushed and uncomfortable about that. Check-out is at 11am and check-in at 3pm, so I feel that they could have done all of this at any time between those times, and not starting at 9~10am. Despite all of that, the stay was nice, and the neighbourhood was great. Very convenient to lots of restaurants, and the walk to the subway wasn't too bad. Things were nice and clean, and the bedding wasn't uncomfortable. I really enjoyed the free wi-fi, but more than two working outlets in the room would have been nice (two were broken). In all, I'd stay again, now that I know what to expect, and I'd definitely recommend the place to others.
