Interfaith Retreats

The location, fruits, and toast are good. This is a vegetarian place. They made me throw my food and mentioned that chicken was cursed or something like this. It does not look like the photos. You can even hear people's farts next to you. It's not even a 2 by 2 space; it's more like a 190 by 120.

Super friendly and accommodating staff. It’s fine for what it costs, can’t knock it for anything. Definitely not accessible if you have mobility issues.

Good for a short stay 2-3 days The location is easy to access The restroom are always clean It wasn’t comfortable that it is mixed genders, even though I know the rooms are small they were even smaller than expected

It was pretty Cool. Kitchen is available throughout the day. Overall nice and clean place to saty. The most important thing are the small but separate PODs which provide you complete privacy. Toilet area could be improved, in terms of space and number of toilets.

The location is excellent. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Great breakfast and coffee.

The staff was nice, they cleaned the toilets/showers, i think, a few times a day. At least it seemed like that. The room is small but it totally works out!

Interfaith Retreats was a great option for my trip - I was arriving early and needed a one-night solo stay to fill the gap of our group's reservation. It was a super short walk from the train station and the staff were all very friendly. The rooms are private and small - about the size of 1.5 twin beds - but thoughtfully designed with plenty of storage space under the bed for luggage, an adjustable lamp with a USB charger, a plug, hooks for jackets or backpacks, and they provided earplugs and towels and had a fan available to use. The pillows were actually a bit better than standard hotel pillows, which was a pleasant surprise! Each room is open to the ceiling so noise definitely travels between rooms but on the whole other guests were quiet and courteous. The temperature control was also pretty good - it was a bit on the warm side but overall comfortable. The room locks, as does access to each floor, and the keys you're provided will buzz you into the building, open both floors, and open your own room, so security was well-thought out. The bathroom was a separate room and the stalls were narrow but functional. They had apples and bananas, bagels, breads and nut butters available for breakfast or to eat anytime, which was perfect for me. There wasn't any shampoo/conditioner in the shower I used and the shower was also not in a separate room from the rooms on my floor, so it felt like I'd probably wake up other guests if I showered (I got in pretty late). A lot of the apples were also pretty bruised up, but I couldn't say if that was because of guests or not.

The location is convenient. However,

Where it was Bed not comfortable

Very pleasant staff and guests, which was great because there is no acoustical privacy. The small visually private cell has no ceiling, and is one of a couple of dozen sharing a large room with a communal eating area. Guests were private; except someone who walked around with heavy steps till 2am. noise till late. bed was just big enough and I'm only 5'8"..

Good

Central, about 100 meters from Penn Station. I Literally rolled my 3 bags there on my departure I needed convenient accommodation for 20 hrs and it delivered just that. I cannot fault this place on anything based on my short stay.

its on a perfect location, close to Madison Square

It has a great location, you have very close access to everything and you can walk to most places. The staff is very friendly and you enjoy talking to them. It is a very intimate and friendly environment. The only problem is the noise when sleeping. If the people whose rooms are close to yours are inconsiderate, it can be very annoying. Of course, if someone does not observe the night silence rule and you inform the reception, they will follow up quickly.

The hotel is very well located- close to Penn Station and subway. It was good value for money- rooms are very small but clean and with comfortable beds. It has everything that's needed for short stay- towels, hair dryer, even ear plugs! And there was a simple breakfast available. You can hear every noise so if you are a light sleeper it can be hard. Although during my stay everyone tried to be quiet and there were ear plugs so there was no problem for me.

Great communication, super nice staff (very reactive). Price is almost unmatchable, especially in New York.

When I arrived, I was asked not to bring dead animals (meat) to the sacred place. But honestly, how can you consider yourselves people of faith if you treat people worse than animals? Greed is also a sin. I was given a room that was far too small. The mattress didn’t even fit the bed properly, and I am only 168 cm (5'5") tall. When I asked to change to a bigger room that would actually fit my height, they didn’t take any action. The only comment I got from them „apparently the guy you were talking to about the room problem didn’t say anything”. As a result, I couldn’t sleep properly for half of my stay. The toilet was flooded, and you could literally see poop pouring onto the floor. Walking into the bathroom meant risking stepping in it. The only pleasant part of my stay was the sweetheart Yana, who kindly gave me a bigger room ❤️ Her scones were also delicious.

Superb

It was adequate, the facilities were basic as expected. Having the honour of feeding the homeless one day. Great location. Not being able to talk to other guests during the day without being told to be quiet. Having a member of staff barge in to my pod in the middle of the night, waking me from a deep sleep and shine a torch in my face because she thought I was snoring.

Location Fruits supplied was nice The room was so small I also didn’t like the ceiling, probably the reason why the room was so cold

Very good

Awesome location, small yet functional room. I understand rooms are small because it is NYC. But no excuse to have broken showers, almost no common space, cramped toilets.

They are very helpful.

One of the best hostels I've visited! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, always helpful. Rooms are very small, so probably not great if you are tall, but for me it was more than worth it for the privacy. I was afraid of noise since the ceilings are open, but I was mostly lucky for considerate people and especially with noise-cancelling headphones it's okay. Would recommend for any solo-travellers who don't mind compromising for a good deal!

This was an amazing find, the beauty of this place is the location and the bathrooms, 2nd floor has 3 toilets a 2 showers, the staff puts out toiletries including razors and pads. Something to consider is that you hear everything, most people understand that and keep the volume to the minimum and others don’t and still are loud.

It is so close to Times Square, fifth avenue. And easy to reach from airport and clean, nice stuff When u sleep you can see the snooring and spme sounds from the other cubics coz it is open roofs on top. But people are very nice about silence

Stayed for 1 night and it was perfect! Loved the quiet time hours, set a relaxing mood after the craziness of what NYC offers. A good reset. Traveled alone and never felt discomfort.

O lugar é limpo e oferece café, pão doce e salgado. Acho que pode melhorar o atendimento, No meu check in fui atendido por 01 senhor magro e alto, infelizmente não lembro o nome, ele não foi nada simpático, dava a impressao que estava cansado, estressado, pra quem está chegando não é uma boa recepção. Apesar do lugar vender uma vibe zen, não senti isso nos dias que lá fiquei. As pessoas não se conectam, não tem diálogo, não dão e vem respondem um simples bom dia. Esse mesmo rapaz que me recepcionou estava num dia no café da manhã, dei bom dia não respondeu, sempre de cara fechada. As pessoas falam sussurrando, da a impressão que falar num tom de voz normal é proibido. Bom falar também dos dois lances de escadas que dão acesso ao hostel, se tiver com mala grande pode ser um perrengue.Demsis funcionários foram educados, principalmente um rapaz novo e uma mulher oriental. Outro ponto é o banheiro, sai pouca água no chuveiro, nada que atrapalhe mas poderia melhorar e um último ponto é o colchão que não é tão confortável, pra 2 ou 3 noites no máximo.

Great value for money and good service Alarms go off pretty early in the morning so you tend to wake up

Nothing

Location is good. Staff is really nice. Place is clean. Breakfast is good, too. My room was on the second floor, across from the bathroom. Whenever someone goes up to the second floor, the doors slam very loudly, and I wake up every time. I think no one on the floor was able to sleep.

Like everything

Top! Hele leuke ervaring, ontzettend fijne sfeer en ‘‘s nachts stil (tussen 20.00 en 08.00 moeten gasten stil zijn). Om de hoek van alle drukte.

The staff is helpful.

Near everywhere, with good hearty breakfast Everything was good

Friendly staff, nice breakfast optionsdrr Extremely noisy- you hear everything phone noises, toilets, showers, bodily functions. No one policing the “no phone calls between 9pm-9am” rule.

Staff

I had 3-night stay at Interfaith Retreats on the 3rd floor, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots in the area. What sold me right away was its unbeatable location—it's an easy, walkable stroll from Penn Station,ideal for unwinding after exploring NYC, I only grabbed breakfast there once (my bad—I totally forgot they offered it!), but it was good: fresh sandwiches, a hot cup of coffee, and some tasty cookies Bathrooms bit away from my room,

Great location, comfy bed, wonderful staff, great value, like a pod hotel

Location and staff

I loved the place so much that I already booked my next stay. The staff is incredible, room and bathroom are always clean. Lovely breakfast in the morning lovely people. Thank you for the experience and can’t wait to be back soon

I enjoyed the small simple space, definitely will be coming back again! I thought everything worked out perfect for my trip, not to much to change

Very interesting and refreshing that the rules include as of vegetarian space... The bathrooms are not necessarily friendly for people.Six feet tall or taller like myself.. get\nUsed to ducking before entering the bathroom stall, lest ye get bonked? I don't need their towels because I bring my own for laundry detergent allergy purposes... i wish there was a way to hand back the towels provided so that small but significant amount of energy and water are saved...?

Angry staff, tricky photo of kitchen is not separate place it inside woman place. Can’t sleep. Save money and go there

location, food, staff size of bed

Location Very noisy, staff wakes people who snore, and they woke me up every night when awakening other guests (I don't snore). I'm 6ft tall and I could barely fit in the bed. It's much narrower than a regular twin bed.

They get my all refund back and fight got cancelled

Everything is great!

Clean pod. Nice staff members.

Thank you

Regarding the amenities, everything was clean, and the staff were very helpful, kind, and friendly. However, I only stayed one night and it was quite noisy, so if you are a light sleeper, you may want to consider using earplugs.
