Hostel – Chrystie Street offers air conditioning and a seating area, as well as a dining area with a microwave, refrigerator and coffee machine. The shared bathroom features a bath or shower and a hairdryer.

Excellent for the price. I had my own private room in a shared apartment. This was basic accommodation, but the the bed was very comfortable and the apartment itself was clean and supplied with toiletries and towels. The apartment was cleaned during my stay and an issue with a blocked toilet was dealt with promptly. Location wise, the Bowery may not be the prettiest place in New York but there are lots of bars and places to eat around and it is very convenient for getting uptown or downtown, or across to Brooklyn. This accommodation exceeded my expectations all round.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I was expecting typical tiny closet sized NYC accommodation but the 6 bed dorm room was bigger than my house! I felt super comfortable and enjoyed having the bathroom attached to the room as well. The facilities of the hostel were also great with a kitchen and cheap vending machines as well as a massive library selection and gaming room.

    Great location, in a close proximity of subway station. Hotel location next to police station adds on feeling safe. Modern facility, the room was very well equipped. The room was well insulated from the outside traffic or lifts, it was completely quiet during the night.

    This is a basic hotel, one step up from a hostel primarily because you get a room with a bathroom. It's fairly clean, located near the N and D train, it's cheap and it's one of the best deals for a traveler on a budget.

    Second time staying at this hostel, it's always a safe bet but nothing special. Sadly, hostels in NYC (or in the US) don't offer much quality or a hostel vibe. This one has a good location close to a metro station in Brooklyn. The room was clean, and probably their greatest plus is that their beds are twin beds and not bunk beds.
