- Avg. price/night: $478.96Scored out of 10, guest rating 6.7Pleasant - What previous guests thought, 15,109 reviewsFantastic location for the price, we really enjoyed the area and felt very safe at all hours. The private bathrooms were good and clean, for a hostel it was very quiet (we were on an upper floor). Very pleasantly surprised that towels were provided in the twin bunk bed room, I hadn’t expected this from a hostel.Guest review byLindaFamily with young children
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very Good - What previous guests thought, 17,650 reviewsI have stayed at this place for three to four days because it was my short trip but I have never seen such a hostel and that too near such memorable locations and if anyone has a hotel or hostel within their less money and less budget. If you want to reserve it, I will recommend it and go with it and it is available at a very cheap price.Guest review byChoudhary AbdulrehmanSolo traveler

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very Good - What previous guests thought, 17,650 reviewsThe different tours from the hostel were really nice. It was easy to meet new people. Especially if you are traveling alone. You have everything you need there! Also the cafe in the hostel was good and cheaper than some other places. But all in all i really enjoyed the place an liked it. Would definitely come back!Guest review byAdaSolo traveler
- Avg. price/night: $478.96Scored out of 10, guest rating 6.7Pleasant - What previous guests thought, 15,109 reviewsExcellent location in safe area. We were out all day & into evening and just needed somewhere to crash for the nights we were in NY. It did the job. Bunk bed was king single size, little creaky, but slept well on all 3 nights. Aircon old & bit noisy, but good white noise to drown out comings & goings of hostel (not that we heard this). Bathrooms were old but clean. Good to be able to access gym & pool. It was what we expected for the money paid.Guest review byCatherineTravelers with friends
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very Good - What previous guests thought, 17,650 reviewsIt's a cheap an popular hostel and as a female solo traveler I felt mostly safe. The doors open with a card you're given at check in. The patio is really nice and they have a small cafe downstairs. Even though it's the upper west side so it's quite far away from the modt popular parts of Manhattan, by taking the subway you can be at lower Manhattan in 30 minutes which is better than staying at Brooklyn or Queens etc. Also the neighborhood seemed nice and fine, no super scatchy places.Guest review byDorkaSolo traveler
- Avg. price/night: $478.96Scored out of 10, guest rating 6.7Pleasant - What previous guests thought, 15,109 reviewsVery cheap for Manhattan. Perfect location. Very big hostel - many guests of all ages and nationalities (so you don’t feel too old by being in a youth hostel).Guest review byAleksandraYoung couple
- Avg. price/night: $478.96Scored out of 10, guest rating 6.7Pleasant - What previous guests thought, 15,109 reviewsIt was a great location just a few stops on the subway from airport, and near all the places I visited. I was very happy with my room and the bed was comfortable. I was happy with the security and safety of my belongings and myself. If I return to New York I will book into West side Youth Hostel again.Guest review bytimothySolo traveler
