I had a mixed experience at Central Park Hostel. While the room with a private bathroom and kitchen was neat and convenient, the delay in getting my security deposit back created significant anxiety. Additionally, the neighborhood location felt a bit unsafe at times, yet the nearby subway was a plus for getting around the city.

The room included a private bathroom and kitchen, which made things convenient. It was tidy and functional, but keep in mind there's no elevator – just stairs to the 4th floor.

The hostel is conveniently located just outside a subway station, making it easy to reach midtown, though it's about a 30-35 minute ride. The neighborhood isn't the best, so I'd advise caution at night.

The building had decent facilities; the presence of a private kitchen and the ability to receive packages were supportive. Yet, the challenge of communication during my deposit issue detracted from the overall experience.

I found the space to be neat and well-equipped, especially having my own bathroom and kitchen, which was a great plus. However, the issue I faced with the delayed return of my security deposit really soured my experience, causing a lot of unnecessary stress for me. The location isn’t the best for late-night outings, and while I appreciated the access to a subway station, it’s quite a trek to reach the center of the city.
