I loved the distance from the subway and the distance from Central Park! The staff was nice and they had a rooftop area and dining area to hang out in. They do have a "private shower" option that costs extra that isn't actually private but is a shower used by yourself and the others in the room as opposed to the one in the hallway used by the other guests.

Disliked: Room comfort
Overall, the location was great, the front desk was helpful and friendly, the cafe was a great space to hang out or have a morning coffee, and the bathrooms and rooms were clean. Comfort: The mattresses were thin, the pillow old and flat, 1 thin blanket, 1 rough towel. My podmates were considerate and as quiet as possible. I liked being able to close the door to my "pod" and loved the light control, but it was not actually quiet. A pod is essentially a metal bunk bed with a box around it, so you can hear squeaks with every toss and turn. Also I was never sure if my roommate was there in their pod with the doors closed and sleeping, so I didn't feel comfortable unzipping my suitcase, rummaging for what I needed and getting changed, just in case I was disturbing them. I wished I knew if they were there or not. I don't think pods are for me. I will pay for a room next time.

This was my second stay at Kama. The first stay was in 2023. I have a lot of good things to say about the place. Most importantly: I feel safe in the building and in the neighborhood. The hostel is reasonably priced, reasonably clean, and reasonably comfortable. I was disappointed to find that the communal fridge was no longer on the main floor --- it is now in the basement, down a flight of stairs, in a tiny and not-very-clean room. But overall, I'm happy with Kama. It will continue to be my first choice when I'm visiting NYC as a solo traveler.

Literally the best place to spend the night. The staff is so welcoming, and super friendly. This is my third time staying at Kama and it’s the best decision every single time. The bathrooms are always clean, very affordable and comfortable. Love Kama!

Affordable and convenient option, they were doing some kind of construction so it was a little loud after 8am but otherwise other guests were very quiet at night. Pod beds were comfortable and it was nice to have the added privacy. I enjoyed that there was a coffee shop on the property.

The location was quiet enough to get a good night's sleep, and all the other guests seemed respectful of that. Appreciate the desk being staffed by approachable, helpful people all through the day and night. It's a great location for the subway downtown in no time, but also for access to the park. Good to come back in the early evening after a crazy day out and about, get changed and go jog in Central park, just a minute away, come back, warm shower and head a few blocks over to loads of restaurants and bars.

Great place. I stayed at HI Hostel the night before, and I prefer the completely enclosed 'pods' at Kama and how it locks, so it can also act as your luggage storage. Only issue I had was that there are ONLY two USB ports inside the bunk, and they both seemed broken - they would not charge my phone fast enough and it died while charging.
