Many guests feel safe in the area and appreciate nearby shops and late-night groceries. Rooms are basic and compact with bunks and some ensuite bathrooms, and storage can be limited. The lounge and shared kitchen are handy for self-catering. Overall, expect a value-focused, urban hostel experience.

Q4 Hotel and Hostel is a remarkable NYC gem. Its quiet vibe is perfect for digital nomads who simply like to work around others and still have privacy. The atmosphere is artistic and authentic. The amenities include clean bathrooms, hot showers, a great common area and kitchen, complete dishes, and great staff. Friendly and dependable in two words. They have several refrigerators so there is ample space to store your groceries from the Good Vibes grocery store or Hudson Food Market. They even have a meditation room which could double as a potluck space. It has beautiful cushions and pillows. To cap it all off this place is a renovated bank. The reception desk opens to a giant safe surrounded by recommissioned safety deposit boxes. This is a brilliant and affordable stay for those who appreciate the bold and the quiet. Bold art, bold service, cleanliness, and remarkably quiet experience considering how close we are to the subway. If I were a spider, say Anansi, with thumbs, all 8 would be up.

No elevator and some other customers were psycho opening and banging the door all during the night. I had sleeping pills and gotta have it every time banging bcoz waking me up putting me dizzy all day. Next to subways and pricy supermarket. The restroom has no soap supplies when I was there. I like the leisure room and kitchen. Mattress are very good and comfortable.

Stayed for four days and it was quite enjoyable. Its location is very convenient for subways and local resturants. The train might be bothersome for some, but im used to this back at home so it didnt effect me at all. Staff was nice and helpful. Downstairs hangout and kitchen area was clean and cozy too. Will definitely stay here again in the future!

The location is very good and safe with 10 mins walk to subway station. No elevator! I had 2 suitcases and the friendly front desk young man offered to take them up stairs to the 3 rd floor! The room is not big but comfy with individual bath. I booked the private room. There are other shared rooms with shared bathrooms I guess. The hostels is very clean and the kitchen/ living room in the basement is very spacious with many sofa/ table and chairs to sit. Walking to restaurants.

I am pleased with my stay. I stayed in 311 bunk bed 1. A 4-bed dorm room. Pluses: The price. Excellent value. Good safe location. 12 minute subway ride to Times Square. Courteous and helpful staff. Large convenience store next door. Wall mounted air conditioner in room. Large convenience store next door. Supermarket (pricey, upscale) across the street. Subway very close by. Large common area including big shared kitchen. Semi-private (private to the 4 of us roommates) clean bathroom with shower. Minuses: Noisy trains going by almost constantly on multiple elevated subway tracks. HOWEVER, the noise was somewhat muted. I did not mind it. I brought earplugs, staff offered me earplugs, but I did not wear them. I did not feel the need. I slept just fine. Window does not open. First night it was cold. A/C too strong. HOWEVER, I now think there might be a thermostat on the wall that I failed to notice? (I leave it to the reader to ask.) No bedside shelf or cubby to put toiletries or whatnot. A reading light at head of bed would be nice. No elevator. For this trip, I first tried but failed to find a Manhattan hostel with openings. If that happens again, I will almost certainly stay here again.

I was somewhat disappointed with the experience of my stay, because I encountered a roach in the bathroom. It's faith was not a pleasant one. The constant roaring sound of trains were not a desired feature of a stay to be considered a repeat option.

Where is hostel that I ever stayed at? The staff was very rude and uneducated. The rooms are very small. No storage room no table to put your items on. You had to put your items on the floor. The shower in the bathroom was very very small. the staff was very disrespectful. They always overcharge you to store your bag $7 dollars plus $25 if you going to have it there overnight. and the women they pair me with in a six female Dome was very nasty and rude. I had an early flight and I cut the lights on for a second and it was very nasty to me.

The hostel is located conveniently close to a subway station that easily connects you to Manhattan or other part of the city. The area around is really nice, there's a 24h grocery where you can eat if you need. The 2 bunk-beds room was comfortable enough, also with an ensuite bathroom. No much to say. It did the job. It was a good stay. I wish it was cheaper, but NYC is expensive.

The hostel rooms are so small, and the beds are bunks. The location isn’t particularly convenient either. The biggest problem is that the bathrooms are in the rooms, but the sinks are in a separate area from the toilet, so if you’re using the bathroom after the lights have been turned off you have to grope around in the dark to find where the soap is because you can’t turn on the light to see. The HI hostel on the Upper West Side and the NY Moore Hostel in Brooklyn in Bushwick are both way better.

I was very disappointed with my stay. The staff were unfriendly and made no effort to offer a welcome. On arrival, I was unexpectedly asked to pay a £50 deposit, which was never mentioned in the advertisement. The room given to us was directly under the railway, making it impossible to sleep as trains kept passing and waking me up throughout the night. Overall, it was a very unpleasant experience and not what was advertised.

I am pleased with my stay. I stayed in 311 bunk bed 1. A 4-bed dorm room. Pluses: The price. Excellent value. Good safe location. 12 minute subway ride to Times Square. Courteous and helpful staff. Large convenience store next door. Wall mounted air conditioner in room. Large convenience store next door. Supermarket (pricey, upscale) across the street. Subway very close by. Large common area including big shared kitchen. Semi-private (private to the 4 of us roommates) clean bathroom with shower. Minuses: Noisy trains going by almost constantly on multiple elevated subway tracks. HOWEVER, the noise was somewhat muted. I did not mind it. I brought earplugs, staff offered me earplugs, but I did not wear them. I did not feel the need. I slept just fine. Window does not open. First night it was cold. A/C too strong. HOWEVER, I now think there might be a thermostat on the wall that I failed to notice? (I leave it to the reader to ask.) No bedside shelf or cubby to put toiletries or whatnot. A reading light at head of bed would be nice. No elevator. For this trip, I first tried but failed to find a Manhattan hostel with openings. If that happens again, I will almost certainly stay here again.

Location
Very close to multiple subway lines with quick access to Manhattan; many feel the area is safe with eateries and stores nearby. Proximity to the tracks means train noise is common.

The Q4 is in a convenient location that is accessible to public transportation. The staff is pleasant, but Q4 would be a more enjoyable location if it served or sold coffee throughout the day.

This is a great maintained hotel/hostel for the price. Very close to the metro line. Although, it can be a little noisy due to the metro sounds. But well maintained.

The hostel is located conveniently close to a subway station that easily connects you to Manhattan or other part of the city. The area around is really nice, there's a 24h grocery where you can eat if you need. The 2 bunk-beds room was comfortable enough, also with an ensuite bathroom. No much to say. It did the job. It was a good stay. I wish it was cheaper, but NYC is expensive.

The hotel itself is good! Friendly staff, no hidden fees or anything. Just that unless you want to hear police sirens and the train all night you might wanna book somewhere else.

I am pleased with my stay. I stayed in 311 bunk bed 1. A 4-bed dorm room. Pluses: The price. Excellent value. Good safe location. 12 minute subway ride to Times Square. Courteous and helpful staff. Large convenience store next door. Wall mounted air conditioner in room. Large convenience store next door. Supermarket (pricey, upscale) across the street. Subway very close by. Large common area including big shared kitchen. Semi-private (private to the 4 of us roommates) clean bathroom with shower. Minuses: Noisy trains going by almost constantly on multiple elevated subway tracks. HOWEVER, the noise was somewhat muted. I did not mind it. I brought earplugs, staff offered me earplugs, but I did not wear them. I did not feel the need. I slept just fine. Window does not open. First night it was cold. A/C too strong. HOWEVER, I now think there might be a thermostat on the wall that I failed to notice? (I leave it to the reader to ask.) No bedside shelf or cubby to put toiletries or whatnot. A reading light at head of bed would be nice. No elevator. For this trip, I first tried but failed to find a Manhattan hostel with openings. If that happens again, I will almost certainly stay here again.

Super clean, friendly staffs 24/7, very close to public transport and safe to walk even late night around 1-2pm. Only thing is, room had sweaty smell a bit suffocating. But given the other factors, i'll happily stay again

Q4 Hotel and Hostel is a remarkable NYC gem. Its quiet vibe is perfect for digital nomads who simply like to work around others and still have privacy. The atmosphere is artistic and authentic. The amenities include clean bathrooms, hot showers, a great common area and kitchen, complete dishes, and great staff. Friendly and dependable in two words. They have several refrigerators so there is ample space to store your groceries from the Good Vibes grocery store or Hudson Food Market. They even have a meditation room which could double as a potluck space. It has beautiful cushions and pillows. To cap it all off this place is a renovated bank. The reception desk opens to a giant safe surrounded by recommissioned safety deposit boxes. This is a brilliant and affordable stay for those who appreciate the bold and the quiet. Bold art, bold service, cleanliness, and remarkably quiet experience considering how close we are to the subway. If I were a spider, say Anansi, with thumbs, all 8 would be up.

The location is very good and safe with 10 mins walk to subway station. No elevator! I had 2 suitcases and the friendly front desk young man offered to take them up stairs to the 3 rd floor! The room is not big but comfy with individual bath. I booked the private room. There are other shared rooms with shared bathrooms I guess. The hostels is very clean and the kitchen/ living room in the basement is very spacious with many sofa/ table and chairs to sit. Walking to restaurants.

The subway noise is a low rumble, but didn’t really disturb me. Having a store next door with hot food is very handy.

Q4 is an excellent choice over the super-expense of NYC hotels. There’s a fabulous spacious kitchen and rec area in the basement that never seems crowded when you want to escape your room, which is! There’s two close by subway stations so you can go anywhere in the city. Q4 is open 24/7 cuz New York never sleeps. Beds in the shared rooms are cozy, but the top bunk has no seating or place provided for sorting through luggage.

My room (private with ensuite) was facing the subway so it is VERY loud whenever a train goes by, which is all the time since MTA is 24/7.

The BEST budget stay in NYC — no contest. I’ve stayed at the Q4 over 300 times in the last 8 years. I keep coming back for three reasons: the staff, the cleanliness, and the location. The team here goes above and beyond. Argentes is exceptional — he’s the oil in a well-oiled machine and has gone above and beyond for me more times than I can count. I can’t thank him enough. Aric’s calm, stoic demeanor makes even the most hectic days easy to navigate. Steven and Austin always put a smile on my face and keep things fun. Every guest I talk to comments on how clean this place is. Rosa is a rockstar. I’ve stayed in $800-a-night hotels that aren’t as clean as the Q4. Whatever she’s paid, it should be triple — the standard she keeps is a real asset to the business. I can’t recommend this place enough!

The ac was cold, which I like. My first few nights the kitchen was dirty and messy. Sometimes guests don't clean up after themselves but the staff should do hourly or every few hours checks to wipe up after everyone. The subway is loud but also VERY convenient. The location is the best part⭐️
