Highly recommend!!
Best place to stay in Manhattan for a budget traveler, close to two subway stations and next to Central Park. Fast connections to the rest of New York tourist attractions.

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.

Three blocks from the subway station and across the street from Central Park. I've stayed in hostels all over the world and I would say this is a pretty great one. It's definitely a hostel...but the location is amazing.

Overall I really enjoyed staying at Kama. The capsule bed gave privacy, with a private bathroom inside the room, and a another shared shower & toilet outside. There was a locker in the room.
Stayed in the 2nd floor so didn't need to walk up a lot of stairs. The shared kitchen was a bit messy/dirty, but that's more up to the guests to make sure they clean after themselves.
The location was great, with subway a few minutes away, and right next to central park.
Will definitely stay again when visiting nyc.

Fine but pretty loud.
It was fine. The down side was doors slamming all night. I’m not a light sleeper, but being in the room next to the staircase on the first floor and across from the bathroom made it hard to sleep. Both of those doors don’t close quietly, so every time they would close they would slam really loudly. The doors on the beds close kind of loud too so if you’re in a room with someone that comes back really late like I was, that will probably wake you up too. The beds were clean and comfortable though. I’m just over 5’6 and I could sit up comfortably in the bed and had plenty of room to lay down and move around a bit.

Quiet, clean, comfortable, no frills hostel just 1/2 a block from Central Park. You will get a little exercise going up and down the stairs because there is no elevator. Small sacrifice though; for hot shower water which actually does get hot, even during the winter.
