Q4 Hotel and Hostel

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!

Self catering avalible as wanted for my trip

In general Is good , but the microwave doesn't work and the price was a litle high.

Clean and well-priced, but ungodly hot in the six-bed room and super noisy conversations in the lobby even after midnight

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.

This is the spot for anyone needing a PLACE in NEW YORK to stay! amazingly friendly staff with recommendations. they have fast & easy check-in check-out, a cool downstairs lounge area, and are very walkable to subway transit. I was beyond pleased with Q4. Thanks a ton Q4, you will continue to have my business!

very simple place, didnt even have sockets at my bed. toilet 2m from the beds, no activities at all.

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

Very good, above my expectations, bed was comfortable and very clean, got a towel and a blanket, each room has a toilet and a shower

The floor on the showers needs attention. Further than that I had a good experience.

Room is good. Common area very good. All very clean

not clean

Good place to stay. Very clean.

Great location, clean & spacious. I’d definitely stay again.

Although I only stayed one night, the hotel staff was accommodating and willing to take care of my luggage before check-in time while I went to an event. Rooms were clean and quiet. Thank you!

The worker was very nice, the place is safe and the hostel was good. The only thing that I didn’t like was the bathroom because it wasn’t very clean.

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.

Very good, above my expectations, bed was comfortable and very clean, got a towel and a blanket, each room has a toilet and a shower

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.

It's very close MTA, so that has significant noise 24 hrs. The bathroom door is every heavy. The others are almost same as other hotel.

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.

Waited nearly 1/2 hr in line to check in. Only one person was doing checkins though there were two behind the desk. Got to the room and the window shade wouldn’t stay down. Also the AC was broken, and the room was very hot/humid due to all the showers.

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.

Very noisy.

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.

Jennifer at checkin is fabulous as always. Give her a raise!! Good room, good company and convenient to subway. It is a loud location but it’s right by the subway.

service was poor and rude

The front desk person straight up denied me a blanket, even though the person at checkout asked me to return one.

Nice but a little noisy . And the lady in the reception should be more friendly.

The receptionist at the hotel was not there. We were calling out and desperately screaming and he did not arrive until 25-30 mins later. Other guests also tried to help us but did not work. Incredibly unprofessional and then he got mad at us. Horrible.

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.

Everything was great! Great location close to Manhattan and LaGuardia!

I enjoyed my stay. The location is superb! You have PLENTY of eateries to choose from. Transportation options are great also.

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.

The neighborhood is quite convinient and save.

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