I spent 4 nights in a 6-bed-room (female) and had breakfast included, which was great. People were very nice and I was surprised how clean the bathrooms were. And it's close to Central Park!

Not to miss: many events such as welcome party or Jerry's Grand Tour!

One of the best hostels I've been to! Very clean, free towels, 2 blanket & pillows on every bed, free lockers (just bring your own lock). Bathrooms can be a little crowded, but are still pretty clean and showers have enough space to put all your stuff and have free soap. Very helpful and friendly staff, only 2-minute-walk to the subway station or 10-minutes walk to Central Park. Different tours and activities are offered daily. Great chill-out and kitchen area, tv room and lots of choices in the coffee shop. I felt safe all the time as people just can get in with their chipcards (which is also the key for the room).

All in all a great place to stay and really worth the money (which is not much for NYC standard ;-) ).

The hostel itself is OK, if nothing special and a bit too big, but it´s very expansive AND you have to pay for both internet and lockers, thus for the most essential hostel services and that´s a really bad thing

(As you can´t rate those things directly I had to rate the other things worse than they are to give a bad rating)

The hostel is nice and the hostel events is attractive.

It would be great if there is electric plug beside every bed.

If you ever want to discover new york, the daily tours of the H.I. are perfect. A great location, 3 blocks from central park, 1 block from broadway. Restrooms are super modern and always clean, the staff helps you in any case. perfect!

Pretty expensive for a hostel and they charge you 3 extra bucks a night if you're not a number. The dorm I got was straight on Amsterdam Ave and pretty noisy during the peak hours. Except that, the showers and restroom were extra clean and the staff was friendly.

Lots of activities and info, friendly and fun hostel. Close to central park but cab ride to most other sights. Not enough luggage storage though.

Pretty good hostel, considering its ginormous size. Decent common areas, great kitchen. No free internet. No drinking in the hostel = lame.

An excellent hostel, with very friendly staff. A free breakfast added into the cost, and a nice warm shower.

Full points all round.

loved it. met some great people and had a fun time. the tour i did with the hostle to guggenheim museum was not that great. the guy who was supposed to be the guide didn't knew anything besides how to get there... the free comedy (not the one downstair, the one in the pub "the underground") is not that free at all, you have to buy at least 2 drinks and they tip themselves and too much. a non-chlored-drinkingwater-station would have been great aswell.

The hostel is quite big, therefore there is a little lack of character but however this brings a lot of advantges, if you are travelling alone you will sure meet some people you can spend some time with!the hostel itself offers some tours and clubbing possibilties, this is very nice, you can meet a lot of people through these and also get to know the city better.

the rooms where clean and nice, however they had no airco, which is a little minus with 30 degrees outside and 12 girls sleeping inside. the beds where comfy and clean. one little minus where the bathrooms, becaues they are renovating right now, they where little overcrowded in the mornings and not clean after some hours... anyhow i would have expected worse for the price, so i really was okay with that.

the hostel is located one block away from line 1 which brings you basically everywhere, so no problem with the uptown location at all, and the area seemed to me pretty safe, had a lot of stores and restaurants.

if you would ask me for a cheap possibility to stay in manhattan i would recommend hostelling international.

This hostel is ideally located one block from the subway on the 1 line which takes you directly to Times Square, and runs down Broadway. There is a deli and Chinese Takeaway opposite, so you won't go hungry, and plenty of evening events such as club nights to keep you occupied. Would definately stay there again!
