My stay at Explore Hotel was great! The location was convenient and easy to find. The kitchen had all the essentials like a microwave and water boiler. The fridge was big enough to store all my food and it kept everything fresh. I had a pleasant experience and would recommend this hotel.

The hostel is located in a nice Mexican neighbourhood just a ten minute bus ride from Manhattan. The common area is comfortable and provides facilities such as TV, games consoles, table tennis and football. The locals are friendly, making you feel welcome in a very Hispanic area.
Noise can be a problem at the hostel, as outside noise and street traffic can be heard even at night.

I recently stayed at a hotel in a nice Mexican neighborhood just a ten minute bus ride from Manhattan. The location was perfect, not far from the bus stop that takes you to Port Authority. The room was clean and comfortable, with a good amount of space. The bathroom was decent, and the service provided by the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel also had a nice view of the surrounding area.
One negative aspect was the absence of hot water in the shower.

I recently stayed at Explore Hotel And Hostel for a week while visiting New York City. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere in the hostel lounge. The location was great, with Hamilton Park nearby offering stunning views of the skyline. Additionally, the area was affordable, with cheap options available for dining and shopping. The hostel provided a secure environment, with even the New Jersey police coming by one night. it was a comfortable and budget-friendly stay.
I strongly recommend this hotel.

We had a fantastic stay at this hostel! The staff were incredibly helpful in guiding us on how to get to central New York, which was just a short bus ride away. The bus stopped at Times Square and the fare was very cheap. The private room we stayed in was clean and comfortable, and we had access to free wifi throughout our stay. The hotel also provided a secure room to store our luggage after check-out, allowing us to explore New York until our evening flight. Additionally, the location of the hotel was great, as it was situated in a nice Mexican neighborhood with plenty of restaurants nearby.

This hotel is a great value for money with clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and its own private bathroom. Located in a lively and cool neighborhood with lots of Spanish speaking locals, it's perfect for a relaxing stay. Detail: As mentioned in the previous review, there are amazing views of the Manhattan skyline just a short walk away. Me and my friends loved taking photos and soaking up the view during the day and at night.
All was good!

The location of the hotel was very convenient, with easy access to bus stops for traveling to and from New York City. Additionally, having a bathroom inside the room was quite convenient. the hotel also provided lockers, although you need to bring your own lock and key.
The cleanliness of the hostel was subpar, and it seemed like the sheets were not always changed between guests. the showers were also inconvenient, as they lacked a separate area for just showering without washing your hair.
