It's a really cool building with nice common areas and a clean kitchen. The bathroom was super clean, the beds were comfortable and the rooms were cozy and secure with lockers, double door locks etc. It's located in a pretty industrial area in Bushwick, but it's a short walk to a great market, awesome restaurants, and fun things to do. The staff were very hospitable, friendly, and knowledgeable - truly wonderful staff at the NY Moore Hostel. The only thing I'll mention is that if you're situated on the ground floor with your door facing the little courtyard, there were a ton of smokers during our stay and the smoke would get pulled in under our door and through the AC unit filling our room with the smell of cigarettes and pot. It was almost like the smokers were in our room with us as a result. I wasn't too bothered by it, but I was travelling with family members who would have preferred a more smoke-free experience. While I can't remember if there were regulations around smoking in the courtyard or not, it was never bothersome enough for us to go out and ask people to move and this isn't a knock against the hostel at all. It was specific to our situation and the layout of the building. Again - I can't remember if there was signage about smoking in the courtyard, but maybe the staff could consider putting up signs that prompt people to smoke in the front. Still a great stay and I would highly recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys hostels and wants an affordable stay! Ty!!
