Hostelling International New York is situated in an historic building that's recently undergone some ambitious renovations. However, the old charm has been well-preserved, and the brick archways overhead remain reminiscent of a wine cellar. Rooms have metal bunks with bunk lights, new Berber carpets...

If luxury is what you re after, this Upper West Side hostel is not the place. But if you re seeking affordable accommodation, and if you can forego some comfort for cleanliness almost to the point of being sterile then you have arrived. This property sits in a great location for exploring the city. ...

Had everything you could possibly want. restaurant, laundry, phones, games room, TV, hostel shop. Close to subway and Central Park. Clean and very well run. Good security.

For the price, this hostel is excellent!I was in a twelve bed male dorm room. It wasn't that bad. There was a locker and the room itself was big, so it didn't feel really cramped. The bathrooms were a bit far from the room and had the tendency to get crowded. They were relatively clean, considering ...

Great service! The staff were wonderful. I arrived a couple hours late on a Friday night due to a flight delay I was quite tired and I had to go downtown to meet a friend. The staff told me upon my arrival that I had three messages. After I got settled in the room one of the friendly staff members o...

I admit that It is cheap, rather clean, and its location is useful. We can make a lot of international friends there. But there are some problems. One of the washing machines didn't work and I couldn't get back a quarter. I asked to change a dollar bill to quarters at a shop on first floor, but they...

I was in NYC for five days over the Fourth of July 2006. I had no idea where I would stay. This hostel was at the top of my list the first place I checked out. Luckily they had a room. I stayed in a four bed dorm, which smelled kind of Funny, but was tolerable. I met a few nice people, and even went...

Nice friendly atmosphere, clean, and pretty well organized. A nice touch is individual reading lights at each bed. Also, they have lockers in the dorms for each bed, something you dont't find, but should, in every hostel. It's conven...

Stayed here August 12 to 17, 06. The first night I went to check in they said my room was undergoing plumbing problems they then apologised and gave me a piece of paper with directions by bus or train to the Jazz on Harlem, stating it was a recommended hostel with rooms still available. I had booked...

Stayed here early June '06, alone, three nights. Very poor hostel, very normal HI establishment. Common room is quite average during my stay the place was overrun by older travellers and families with children, so not a place for a solo traveller to enjoy the backpacker culture. Includes function ro...

This was my first and (as yet) only trip to the U.S., so I can't really compare this to other hostels in the U.S. Although this appears to be a little far out from the centre of NYC (i.e. Times Square), it's very close to the subway, so I never felt like I was out in the sticks here. The hostel gave...

This was my first time in New York. I found the review on hostelz.com and went to Hi New York. Very big hostel. It has clean rooms and they organize very good trips. Spend 17 hours on a walk around New York with the superb guide Jerry(for free!!!) or tour the Bronx (5 USD). My week in HI New York wa...

This was probably the best of all the HI hostels we stayed in over the summer. Despite not allowing alcohol, at least they posted up bars with offers on. There's a good atmosphere and plenty of activities (comedy night, movie night). The only complaints is the really small kitchen and the bathrooms ...

Value for money is ok. The place did smell a bit and the room was either very hot or very loud (when window opened to let some air in). staff at front desk was helpful with directions and sightseeing options. Can't beat $25 a night in NYC though. but to get that price you have to sleep with eleven o...

Hostelling International New York: Friendly, lots of young international backpackers - user review
I've stayed at Hostelling International three times for periods of approximately two weeks, all during the July and August months. Located on 103rd and Amsterdam, it's nicely removed from the hustle and bustle of busy downtown. Here, nestled in the quiet neighborhood of Morningside Heights near Colu...
