Staff “mistakenly” took my stuff and I spent the day working to get it back

They gave us the wrong code to open the door. We had arrived at 7pm and it was already unstaffed for the day. It took 2 hours before it was resolved. Most of the guests of the hotel are prostitutes with their clients, bringing in a new guy every 30 minutes.
Stellar for the price. The woman at the front desk answered all of my questions and was extremely kind. Extremely walkable to public transportation. We had our own private bathroom and shower. There was even a—rather large—private deck attached to our room. We were only in the room to sleep and it met all of our needs. I would stay here again :) If cleanliness is a deal breaker for you, I would suggest elsewhere.
Room had roaches. I stayed in a shared room that had a permanent resident with stuff all over the room including dirty clothes and open food containers on one of the other beds.
Transportation was great, subway station is 2 minutes away by walking. La Guardia Airport transportation from and to the Roosevelt subway station is for free and takes about 15 minutes. I was asked to leave the room before the check out time with no reason. During the night some people talked really loud in front of my door. I think the price/service is balanced. It is not for everyone, if you are using the hostel just for sleeping is a good option.
The location for kamway lodge is its biggest selling point - located 5 minutes walk from a major subway interchange makes getting to downtown manhatten a breeze.
The rooms, whilst not luxurious, have adequate space, supply good bedding, have an en suite (in the tripple room), a balcony and are kept very warm in the winter.
Can highly recommend this place to people looking for a less expensive option but still get a lot out of their time in NYC.
Was cheap so I suppose you get what you pay for. Uncomfortable bed, very rude staff (most of whom don't speak English), and overall not very clean and somewhat smelly. Glad I only stayed there one night.
This wasn't the hostel's fault to be fair, but also had terrible roommates, who were full on watching videos on their phones out loud making it very hard to sleep.
