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.

    One of the best budget hotels in NYC. The location is two stops from Central Park, in Long Island City—a very safe location with good Subway connections and multiple lines. Long Island City has many shops, cafes and even a classic Diner. All in walking distance from the hotel. The room has tea, coffee coffee-making place, microwave in the room. Special thanks to the hotel staff, which is very nice and welcoming. This was my second time here and I will stay here again.

    A Super-clean, compact hotel in a great location for a low price that included a very nice breakfast. Friendly reception staff, well-equipped (but smallish) room. Plenty of bars (Focal Point Brewery is 2 mins walk away) and restaurants nearby. Safe on-site parking ($20 per night). I stayed for just one night and did not want any more than this hotel provides. A good find and I would ceratainly recommend it to anyone.

    Very clean and organized, with silent rooms. Great location: easy access to many subway and bus lines, safe, close to restaurants and markets. Excellent kitchen and communal areas, including a nice rooftop and a very cool bar adjoining the hostel. There were activities for each day of the week, board games, and binders filled with NYC tips (legit, thoughtful and non-touristy) - small things that show you that management put some thought into giving guests chances to socialize and have a great trip in and out of the hostel.
