New York Hostels

You can find it easily by walking along Central Park from the 103st subway station. The free bagel and coffee service mentioned in the reviews has ended. It is now offered for $3. The water dispenser is at the entrance to the cafe on the first floor. There is a kitchen in the basement with all the cooking utensils (water heater, range, electric stove, pot, and of course refrigerator and detergent). The shower has hot water, but it takes a while to get warm.

I was a bit daunted by reviews when booking but was pleasantly surprised. Firstly, you get what you pay for (and a bit more). It’s a hostel with private rooms, not a hotel. Once you realize that, you manage your expectations. It is in a prime location next to Central Park and a short walk to Times Square. It is near a metro station and there are lots of stores and restaurants nearby. The room was adequate (I booked a single room). It was clean and comfortable. Inside the room was a small tv, a small refrigerator, a desk a twin bed and a small closet area. I wasn’t too concerned about the room because I didn’t intend to spend much time in there but it was comfortable enough for my stay. The bathrooms are shared but are privately used so you don’t actually share it with anyone while using. It was always clean and regularly checked (but of course as they are shared some people clear up after themselves better than others). There were several so I never needed to wait more than a few mins. The shower pressure was fine and the water temperature was perfect for me. Even though you pay for gym and facility use when you stay, I never used them so can’t comment on them. The checkin and check out processes were easy. The staff were all friend and helpful. The building felt safe and I never felt worried about anything. I don’t really have any negatives to comment on. There was a little noise at time from other residents but that’s beyond the control of the staff etc.

The check in process was very quick and felt very rushed. There was no tour of the building so I was left to find things on my own. Thats my only complaint, other than that it was accurately descirbed.

I think this is a good value accommodation in New York, which is known for being expensive. It's close to Central Park, so if jogging in Central Park in the morning is on your list, I highly recommend it. However, please be aware that no amenities are provided and bring your personal items with you.

The ventilation is not good, the sound insulation is average, but the privacy is good, and it is cheap. The bed sheets are changed by yourself, which is basically self-service

Location is kind of crummy since you have to walk quite a bit to get to the subway station. Not impossible, but just annoying. The hostel/location itself is wonderful though! Employees are very warm and friendly. Community living room, well lit, good ambience. Bar/Cafe available directly in the lobby area. The dorming situation was fine, could've been better. My bunk bed wasn't secured to the wall, so climbing up on the bunk felt bad. The shower and bathroom itself had barely any walkable space. looked to be a 3x5' space... Well air conditioned. Outlets are connected/located at each bed, and the community area has a good kitchen. Laundry room is fine, a bit grungy. Overall, good experience for what it is.

Spacious room and an elevator in case you have heavy luggage. The common area is quite comfortable as well.

The staff is very friendly There is no staff during the day, but there is one at night When there is no staff, you can make a video call using the tablet at the counter Early check-in is not possible, but you can leave your luggage However, I stayed for 3 days and they never cleaned the place..

I thought it was a really relaxing place. Since June 5th, I have stayed several times in a row. I stayed for almost a month, but it is very convenient because there are restaurants, a market, and a convenience store nearby. Good location. After all, it's safe and secure, and it feels like a little sure house with a round on each floor. I want to use it again. The staff were all very kind. The front door is also safe with a security door. I was relieved with a security door that could not be easily invaded from the outside.
