The staff were fantastic!!! Very helpful and cheerful!

The location, facilities, space and easiness to access...

Pedro, Portugal

I stayed in an all female dormitory sharing with 8 others, it didn't ever feel too crowded, women of all ages, everyone was respectful and I slept well every night at this hostel. Big lockers to fit your suitcase and bring your own lock. The shared bathroom was clean, warmish showers, really everything you need for a base in NY. I felt safe in the hostel at all times, there were a few young school groups traveling through, I didn't meet many people personally, there wasn't really a social atmosphere at breakfast, but this hostel is great as a base to explore the city from and I didn't manage to go to any of the social events put on by the hostel, so if you want to meet people you could do that. They give you a towel, blankets, the staff were really helpful and booked me a cab at 5 in the morning when I checked out, check in and out was easy and 24 hours! Very close to the 1 metro, but still 30 mins away from downtown Manhattan, so a bit of travelling but not too bad.

Rochelle, United Kingdom

I arrived very late in the hostel; but the staff there were very welcoming. I only stayed for 1 night (I think that for a hostel it is a little expensive) for 1 night it is ok but if you are staying more than 1 night, I would advice to look for a hotel. very close and easy access to airport (JFK and Laguardia)

Celine, Belgium

Wedged into the perfect spot in Manhattan, housekeeping stays on top of things great price, great common areas, cafe was nice.

Starlin, United States of America

The food in the café was delicious, the staff helpful, the accommodation comfortable, the showers hot, the aircon working well, the kitchen spotless, the laundry excellent. The best city map, too.

Merle, Australia

Excellent coffee and bagels. Clean bed and nice staff.

Huihsin, Taiwan

Near the subway. Cheap! You can meet a lot of people. Complete with kitchen for everyone. Clean.

Jairus, Philippines

Great location, a lot newer and tidier than the other HI hostel I stayed at. Multiple tours on every day. Massive kitchen facilities that I didn’t discover until the last day.

Kelsie, New Zealand

I liked the breakfast area because you meet a lot off other travellers there. I loved the welcome drinks and pubcrawls!

“The best place to be in NYC !”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Bed in Female PLUS Economy Dormitory
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉One locker was dirty when I checked in but informed the front desk who sent someone.
눇This is the best hostel i've been to so far !! Very good location, 1 min walk from the subway station 103rd (red line 1) that takes you directly to Columbia University, Columbus Circle, Times Square, Penn Station all the way down to the ferry in the south. You have restaurants, some delis, Dunkin Donuts in the same street. The reception is very professional and friendly, they are open 24/24 so you always have someone there if you need anything. The hostel is huge and there is everything you ever need to experience NYC the best way you can ! In the first floor, you have a cafeteria where you can get breakfast, salads, sandwiches etc, you can also bring food from outside at any time of the day or night. You also have living rooms, one with TV, an area with computers, don't forget that you also have some events like tours, comedy shows etc organized by the hostel so you can meet others people and get to visit NYC in a different way if you're travelling alone ! In the basement, there's a kitchen with seats, everything was clean. Also you have a luggage room so you can leave them there after your check out (it's 5$). You also have a nicely decorated terrace. Free and good quality wifi too. The dorm rooms was very clean. The bunk beds had their own light, curtains, a usb port to charge your phone which i found was very convenient. You have lockers and don't forget to bring your own padlock ! Each floor had many clean showers and bathrooms so it was such a relief in the morning to find clean free showers and not to wait for hours. The cleaning staff was very professional and so nice, they did their job very well everyday. Thank you guys ! In this hostel, you'll see not only solo travellers but also a lot of school groups so there's always a lot of people which i didn't mind. You can meet people from everywhere in the world and make so many new friends !

Big lockers to fit your suitcase and bring your own lock. The shared bathroom was clean, warmish showers, really everything you need for a base in NY. I felt safe in the hostel at all times, there were a few young school groups traveling through, I didn't meet many people personally, there wasn't really a social atmosphere at breakfast, but this hostel is great as a base to explore the city from and I didn't manage to go to any of the social events put on by the hostel, so if you want to meet people you could do that. They give you a towel, blankets, the staff were really helpful and booked me a cab at 5 in the morning when I checked out, check in and out was easy and 24 hours! Very close to the 1 metro, but still 30 mins away from downtown Manhattan, so a bit of travelling but not too bad.

눉I didn't like that I had to pay for storage and that breakfast was not included (72$ a night). Plus they provide tours but they are a company which provide free walking tour (pay what you want or can) in NYC, and they are very good. But again the staff is very nice and very helpful.
눇I arrived very late in the hostel; but the staff there were very welcoming. I only stayed for 1 night (I think that for a hostel it is a little expensive) for 1 night it is ok but if you are staying more than 1 night, I would advice to look for a hotel. very close and easy access to airport (JFK and Laguardia)

눉Roommates can be dirty or noisy ( 6 people per room ), bunk beds creak, no real ac in rooms, soap in shower is more like hand soap than body wash.
눇Wedged into the perfect spot in Manhattan, housekeeping stays on top of things great price, great common areas, cafe was nice.
