Overview of 155 Meserole St
155 Meserole St is an eight-bedroom apartment located in the Brooklyn neighborhood of New York City. The address is Brooklyn, NY 11206, USA. The property is offered as a shared apartment (unit type: apartment / 8b), meaning residents share common areas such as kitchen, living space, and bathrooms. The monthly rent ranges from US$1,400 to US$1,900 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). The minimum lease term is 6 months. Availability is currently marked as not available; confirm directly with the operator for upcoming openings.
The building provides amenities listed as kitchenware, dedicated workspace, and high-speed WiFi. According to aggregated ratings, the property has a Google rating of 4.2 out of 5 based on 1,119 reviews. Sub-ratings within the platform show particularly high scores for staff (5.0), cleaning (5.0), internet (5.0), location (5.0), safety/security (5.0), and value for money (5.0). Other dimensions such as food, social, accuracy, amenities, community, condition, management, indoor spaces, getting around, room experience, study environment, and property maintenance all average 3.5.
Who This Residence Suits
This property is well-suited for students or young professionals who value cleanliness, staff support, and location over private space. The shared eight-bedroom layout means you will have a private bedroom (likely with a full-size bed based on one review) but share a kitchen, living area, and bathrooms with up to seven other residents. It works best for people who are comfortable with a social, low-key atmosphere and want easy access to Brooklyn’s thrift shops, graffiti art, and casual dining.
The reviews highlight that the hostel (the building appears to operate as a hostel-style accommodation; the platform listing describes it as an apartment) is exceptionally clean. One guest noted it was “probably the cleanest hostel I’ve ever stayed in.” If a spotless environment and responsive front-desk staff matter to you, this residence delivers on those fronts. The high speed WiFi and dedicated workspace listed in amenities also make it suitable for remote study or work, provided you can focus in a shared setting.
Budget-conscious renters looking for a sub-$1,500 monthly option in Brooklyn will find the lower end of the price range competitive for an eight-bedroom unit, though the city’s from-price for student housing is $850 per month (which typically reflects lower-cost shared rooms or farther locations).
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
This residence is not suitable for anyone who needs a private studio or one-bedroom apartment. The eight-bedroom configuration means shared bathrooms, shared kitchen, and limited personal storage space. If you have a low tolerance for noise or want a quiet, isolated study environment, the social nature of a larger dorm may be disruptive.
The property also may not suit those who need a short-term lease under 6 months. The minimum lease term is 6 months, making it a medium- to long-term commitment. Availability is currently marked as not available, so anyone looking for immediate move-in would need to check with the operator for future openings.
Budget extremists hoping to match the city’s $850 from-price will likely find $1,400–$1,900 too expensive. Even though the location and cleanliness justify the premium, if your maximum budget is under $1,200, this apartment is out of range.
What Residents Actually Say
Three reviews from Google are available. The first is from Paul Kissel (5 stars):
“I stayed at Moore Hostel for three days and had a fantastic experience. Honestly, it was probably the cleanest hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff kept everything spotless, and the front desk was always staffed. No matter what I needed or what questions I had, someone was there to help. The location was excellent. Pu”
The review cuts off, but the emphasis is on cleanliness and helpful staff.
Siti Aida (4 stars) writes:
“I stayed here towards the end of October while visiting a friend in Brooklyn—and of course for the thrift shop experience. I loved the graffiti walls; they really gave the place cool, creative vibes. I’d recommend the four-bed dorms. It was easy to make friends, but overall the hostel has a low-key atmosphere. Ha”
This reviewer highlights the social and artistic character of the area and suggests the four-bed dorm is a good choice for making friends without excessive partying.
Heather Knutson (5 stars) notes:
“Spacious & clean rooms, tons of good common areas, convenient location, lots of good food options nearby. Loved having a larger bed rather than a twin. Only complaint was WiFi was a little spotty but sorted itself out quickly!”
This points to spacious rooms, good common areas, and the benefit of a larger bed. The WiFi issue was transient.
Overall, the resident feedback emphasizes cleanliness, responsive staff, good location, and a social yet low-key environment. The only complaint mentioned is temporary WiFi spottyness, which resolved quickly.
Price Positioning vs. City’s From-Price
New York City has a from-price of US$850 per month for student housing (indicative — confirm with the operator). That is the lowest advertised rate across all properties in the city (likely a small shared room or private room in a farther borough). 155 Meserole St starts at US$1,400 and goes up to US$1,900 (indicative — confirm with the operator). This places it well above the city floor but within the mid-range for Brooklyn shared apartments with strong cleanliness and staff ratings.
The premium over the city from-price reflects the property’s high ratings for cleaning (5.0), staff (5.0), and location (5.0). If you prioritize these factors over raw cost, the price may be justified. For comparison, many other Brooklyn shared apartments in the $1,200–$1,600 range may not have the same level of cleanliness or 24/7 front desk support.
Note: The unit type is a single eight-bedroom apartment, not a traditional multi-unit building. The price per bed is likely inclusive of utilities, WiFi, and amenities. Confirm with the operator exactly what is included.
Room-Type Guidance
The only unit type listed is “8b apartment”, which means eight bedrooms sharing common areas. Within that, reviews suggest there are also four-bed dorms available (one guest recommended the four-bed dorm). Check with the operator whether you can book a specific room size (e.g., 4-bed or 8-bed) and whether the monthly price varies by room occupancy.
If you are highly social and want to meet many people, an eight-bed room might work. If you prefer a slightly smaller group, inquire about four-bed options. The property also seems to have mixed-gender options; confirm the gender policy.
All beds appear to be full-size or larger (one reviewer “loved having a larger bed rather than a twin”). Private rooms are not offered; the property is entirely dormitory-style.
Booking Timing
As of the data update (2026-07), the property is marked as “not_available”. This could mean all rooms are currently occupied, or the operator has not released new inventory. If you are planning to move in late 2026 or early 2027, contact the operator directly to ask about future availability and waiting lists.
Because the minimum lease is 6 months and the property is in high demand (based on strong ratings and reviews), early booking is recommended once availability opens. There is no discount or special offer mentioned – avoid any implication of urgency or limited time. Simply note that popular properties in Brooklyn with high cleanliness scores tend to fill up.
