HI New York City Hostel

The hostel was clean and well maintained. It has a good security system and a nice kitchen. There is a huge common area. Location is 3 min walk from metro.

great location very close to the subway station, good value for money, staffs are friendly and volunteers are helpful, clean bathrooms and toilets, nice common areas

The room had a card key for entry and a locker spacious enough for a 60L backpack, secured with a regular padlock that you need to bring. The air conditioner made the room cold when on, but the temperature was comfortable when turned off. There were two outlets near the bed (although one happened to be broken). You could use one of the four baths and four toilets on a first-come, first-served basis. One dryer was provided on the wall. The cleanliness matched the price, making it a great place to stay. What pleased me was the availability of a washing machine and dryer on the second floor, and the added convenience of being able to pay with Apple Pay for laundry. Just remember to bring your own detergent. The cafe near the lobby was relatively inexpensive but served delicious food. Additionally, there was an underground kitchen available, along with a large refri.ge、rator for those who prefer cooking themselves.

My stay at the hostel exceeded my expectations. The facility was clean, well-organized, and seemed recently renovated. The rooms were comfortable and equipped with lockers, curtains to cover the beds, reading lights, and plenty of charging outlets (including USB). The atmosphere was very friendly, and they even organized wonderful events for socializing! The location is very convenient (3 minutes walking from subway line 1, 10 minutes from Central Park, and near the charming neighborhood of Harlem).

I recently had the pleasure of staying at HI USA New York for four nights, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. As a solo traveler, one of the highlights of my trip was the opportunity to meet fellow backpackers and travelers from around the world, and this hostel provided the perfect setting for that. The dorm room I stayed in was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The beds were cozy, and the storage lockers provided ample space for my belongings. It was great to have the chance to connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds, as we shared stories and travel tips throughout our stay. One of the best features of this hostel was access to communal facilities. The pool table was a hit, and it served as a great way to break the ice and engage in friendly competition with other guests. The terrace provided a lovely space to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring. The open kitchen was convenient for preparing meals, and it also encouraged interaction among guests. The lounge areas were cozy and inviting, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the city. Another aspect that impressed me was the availability of pay-per-use laundry facilities. For those who intend to stay longer, this service is invaluable. It's a thoughtful addition that shows the hostel's commitment to providing a comfortable and convenient stay for all guests. In terms of location, this hostel is a gem. New York City can be quite expensive, but staying at HI USA New York allows budget-conscious travelers like myself to experience the city without breaking the bank. With plenty of delis and coffee shops and even a subway stop in the vicinity, finding affordable and delicious food was never a problem. Overall, my stay at HI USA New York was a memorable one. The opportunity to make friends from around the world, the access to communal facilities, and the budget-friendly accommodation made it an excellent choice for any traveler.
