HI New York City Hostel
891 Amsterdam Avenue, Upper West Side, New York, NY 10025, United States of America – Great location - show map – Subway Access
As always, this hostel is the perfect budget option for a stay in NYC. Rooms in great condition, many common areas, very kind staff, close to the metro and central park. Only a 20 minutes ride to Times Square but for a great price

i am a frequent guest at nyc location over the years,and always find it a great place to stay

It was clean, nice, and very affordable Met people from around the world The communal areas were very nice and comfortable

the location was so convenient to go to the subway

Great hostel in a perfect location, conveniently located near the subway and Central Park. Clean facilities with working AC and decent common areas.

it’s so big and clean. It has a great cafeteria and bakeries, the staff are so friendly and helpful! the bathrooms are so clean. The bedrooms are comfortable, even though there’s like 9 or 10 beds per room. it really exceeded my expectations!! also the location is great, you have a lot of supermarkets, diners and bus stops near you. also a subway, and what is great about it is that central park is so close, which I found amazing!!

The location was really nice for my stay. Very close to subway line 1 as well as the beautiful riverside park. There is also a 24/7 McDonalds a couple of blocks away if you plan to dance the night away and return late. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe walking from the subway at night. I liked that this hostel has a spacious ground floor with seating so that people could continue to hang out down there and not disturb their roommates. There was a charger and light for each bed, which was nice. There is also a large locker for each bed (I put a carry on suitcase and full standard school backpack in mine), but note that you will need to bring your own lock.

Good location, restaurant inside, big hang out locations

Pretty much everything :) the hostel is very clean and comfortable, the room had space enough and a place to leave your luggage - but if you have more than one I suggest you bring an extra padlock because the locker only fits one luggage and a backpack. The staff is cool and you have activities all over the week such as walking tours and welcome parties. Having a cafeteria inside is a plus. Showers were clean!

Location is wonderful, and in general is a clean place, shower are confortable
