(Brooklyn)
"Easy to find, clean, friendly staff -- great location! - I stayed here in August 2008 and it was a really good place to stay! admittedly when I first walked out from the subway I thought it looked a bit rough but once I got to know the neighbourhood it was amazing! we arrived and were welcomed and shown to our room (by one of the really friendly staff) which was huge! the beds were clean and really comfy! only a slight downside was that there was one bathroom in the room and there were a lot of people in the room so you might have to wait...

Chelsea Star Hotel
79%
(Manhattan - Chelsea)
"They screwed up our booking, which was a blessing in disguise because we were upgraded to the adjoining apartment run by the hostel for the same price as we were quoted for a lesser room. The staff were polite and helpful, and although i didn't see much of the actual hostel it looked clean and well kept. The location is also excellent and the price was in line with others in NY, it's worth paying a little more for a place that is safe, clean, and not run by transient bong heads." … "Clean, inexpensive, great location - The best hostel...

HI - New York Hostel

(Manhattan - Upper West Side)
"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 ordered me a taxi so I could get downtown to meet my friend. It was my first time in NYC and I can't wait to go back. The staff were so helpful I was there for three days and there was always someone with a smile to answer my many questions....

Wanderers Inn West

"Although the neighborhood seems dangerous, the location is not dark, not dangerous. I liked it there, a lot, the reception answered my questions. They have cheap prices per night, including free breakfast, and free pizza party on wednesday!! The kitchen is not so big, but I could meet and talk to friends from abroad there!! I won't understand if you don't choose this hostel to enjoy your NYC trip!!" … "I had a wonderful stay here. I was reading the negative comments, but I think they were from some really negative people. I was...

Swiss 1291 Hostel & B&B
74%
(Manhattan - Midtown West)
"I stayed in the 1291 hostel near Times Square and I loved it! The workers were great, I loved talking to them, I felt them more as friends than anything. They do leave at midnight which sounds crazy but they stayed longer because they knew I'd be arriving after that. So there was someone there to check me in about 1 a.m. You have your own keys and everything so it's safe. A cleaning person came in the room I stayed in every morning to do the dirty work. They also provide some food and drinks for those who don't want to go out to eat every...

Chelsea International Hostel
73%
(Manhattan - Chelsea)
"Hostels are about meeting people and having a laugh with friends you just met, and this place is the best in New York for that. Yeah, it's a bit dirty, and as with many hostels in the city there's no air-conditioning. However, I met so many fantastic people. We sat outside on the benches out the back, $2 bottle of malt liquor each, sharing the ample supply of free pizza (once a week) before hitting the local bars after the courtyard closed at midnight. Fantastic times! It's in a good, safe area, too. The "poet" security guard, should he...

International Student Center New York
73%
(Manhattan - Upper West Side)
"I recently stayed at the International Student Center and it was great. The facility was quite clean, the staff were very friendly, and the neighborhood is phenominal. It is only a subway ride a few stops to downtown. It has a great common room area in the downstairs area with heaps of couches, a huge television, full kitchen, a nice garden out back too. We had so much fun on our trip here, and met so many great people. We stayed at other hostels and this one by far was the best. It's clean, warm, and very cozy. We will definitely re-visit...

Jazz on the Park Hostel
71%
(Manhattan - Upper West Side)
"I had the best week of my life - Here is the real deal on Jazz On The Park -- it is the best hostel in New York.
The location is excellent, right next to Central Park (you step out the hostel, turn right, cross the street, and you're in central park). And the subway is just around the corner. You know you can get a seven-day unlimited metrocard for $24? (12 quid!) See how far £12 gets you on the London underground. The staff are the nicest, friendliest people in the world! If there is a problem with anything the guys at the front desk will...

"My friends and I stayed in the Wanderers Inn in December 2003 and I would highly recommend it to other travellers. The rooms are basic but very well kept and the breakfast provided is better value than any other hostel I've stayed in. The staff are also extremely friendly and helpful. I am returning next week to New York and this will be my first choice." … "I did expect everything, even the worst, but this place is marvelous. Everything is very small but clean, and nothing is really missing. It's in a great location! There's the...

Gershwin Hostel & Hotel
70%
(Manhattan - Flatiron District)
"Just an Ordinary Hostel, With a Pleasant Twist! - This was my first hostel experience. I would have to say that I was quite pleased. In New York it can easily cost you $500/night for an average hotel room and the cheap ones run anywhere from $180 to $250/night. So, I opted to go with staying a hostel. I would have to say that my selection of The Gershwin was a rather pleasant experience. Though you shouldn't expect the Waldorf for $50/night (and you can even get a discount if you search around online), if you're open-minded and don't mind...

I will definitely stay again." … "It was ok but very noisy - We stayed there for two nights, and at night it was very noisy on the street.

Marrakech Hostel

(Manhattan - Upper West Side)
"Not bad, not great either - This was actually not too bad of a place. I had a bad impression of the place. However when I got there, I decided to stay. It seemed to have a bit more character than the hostel one block over, and the staff was real friendly. I stayed in a four-bed dorm room, and it was fine. There was only one bathroom on the floor, but it didn't seem to be a problem." … "I made a reservation over the phone a month in advance and it was lost in the system! So we arrived at about eight p.m. and I had a confirmation number...

"Just wanted to say the staff were absolutely amazing while we were there this past weekend!!!" … "I had great time here back in June of '05. The rooms were small, but who gives a poop? It's a hostel. I spent most of my time hanging out on the roof and meeting all kinds of people from all over and going with them on pub crawls and -- yeah, I had a great experience." … "I stayed at Jazz on the Town from March 8th till the 13th, 2005, and it was ace!!!

Candy Hostel

"Friendly, clean, comfortable, and convenient - I stayed here for a couple of weeks and it was a very nice and safe place for my daughter and I. If you are looking for a basic room, with no frills, then this is the place. The maids and desk staff were great! Security is wonderful and the elevators work, but we usually took the stairs as it was quicker. I have been in hotels that didn't even come close to the service of this place." … "Nice, clean, but rooms are small - easy to find. came off the subway at 96th and walk down 95th to the...

Central Park Hostel
63%
(Manhattan - Upper West Side)
"The price per night includes blankets and even linens. They have only one requirement and it is your ID. In order to check in they want to see your foreign passport or student ID. This turned out to be a problem because I was with a friend who was from Texas and didn't have none of these." … "The hostel was an ideal location. The subway is one hundred feet away, which is great when you're wasted and coming home at 6 or 7 in the morning. Pretty cheap for NY as well. I will be staying there again." … "My daughter and I stayed four...

"I read all the comments just before leaving and was scared to discover this place. But finding a hotel in Manhattan in August at a decent price is not an easy task, so my friend and I still went -- and we loved it.
What do people expect? It was very clean, a bit old, the walls definitely need new paint, so what? It is greatly located, and yet quiet at night. We stayed three nights, and slept very well, people were respectful (clean bathroom, no noise at night). That is exactly what we were looking for, so, don't hesitate and go!" …...

Big Up to Continental and especially to Kia." … "The hostel is very clean. Private twin bunk rooms have just the bed, desk in the room, and a window with an A/C installed in it.

"Don't do it. - Management relied on one sole staff member who was insane. She was friendly one minute, and them the next she was crazy. Once she did not want some of the guests hanging out to celebrate a guests birthday and reported us to management saying we trash the place, and stay up all night -- wrong. the rules the next day were no drinking after 11 p.m., and can only drink on first floor. No parties were allowed, and no friends were allowed to visit. Management put itself in a convenient spot by shifting the blame on any three of the...

Uptown Hostel

(Manhattan - Central Park North)
"I stayed at this dump for a few months until I moved across the street into a squalid excuse for an apartment. Harlem is a hilarious place, I ended up staying there for almost one and a half years. What's the attraction? Who knows, the rent is cheap compared to the rest of the island, but it's still a rip off. So I'd have to say the best thing about the place was the availability of drugs. Coke, heroin, crack, weed, you name it, it's all just right outside the hostel's doorstep. Word to the wise, don't argue with the natives over drugs...

Big Apple Hostel

"I loved my stay here. Staff were awesome, professional, friendly, and accommodating. Rooms and bathrooms are small but well maintained, and were cleaned every day. Sit in the courtyard out back, and you wouldn't believe you're so close to all the noise outside — it's so quiet! (How do they do that??!)
Also awesome — the location. It has access to almost all the subway lines from Times Square or Sixth Ave. It's right on top of all the theatres if you want to go to Broadway, and Central Park is an easy walk, as are a bunch of other...

It was an enjoyable stay and I would recommend it to anyone on a budget in New York." … "We stayed at this place only a few days ago and we loved it!
