Pet friendly accommodation in Upper West Side

Excellent location in upper west side. Hotel bakery is excellent and we received $10 coupons each day which covered coffee and pastry. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms are NY small but clean and well maintained.

The staff at the Empire were very kind and helpful. The door guys were friendly despite the fact they must’ve been freezing given the poor weather. The location is great: just a few blocks from a couple of subway lines and a minutes walk from Central Park.

I hadn’t stayed at a hostel before this one, and I was skeptical of any lodging outside of Hotels, Air BnB, and family/friends. I saw this spot had great reviews and the price was perfect for me just moving to NYC with no apartment yet. Once I got there, I realized how spoiled I was & how much I could’ve saved if I had started staying at hostels sooner! The spaces is filled with so many different people from all over the world! Families, individuals & groups were all present. Seeing families made me feel extra safe. The staff was very kind, and since I speak Spanish too, I had to have a couple conversations with staff members before I left. Everyone I spoke with was very friendly, detailed with their jobs, and made my experience even better. They have BIG lockers for luggage storage before & after check-in, a kitchen, yoga room, café, patio, laundry, TV room, and so many other activities and amenities. It’s a great decision for solo travelers or groups! I’ll definitely be back!

Spacious, clean, would’ve liked shelves in the bathroom Otherwise, a great choice for accessibility to museums, Central Park and yummy restaurants

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.

Loved the hotel. Room was clean and large. Breakfast was adequate. Location excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful.
