Hostels in New York State, United States

Location: Not far from Central Park, within walking distance. You can walk through Central Park to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's one block from the subway station, a 3-minute walk, very close. There's an Indian-owned supermarket across the street. If you turn right when you exit and walk for three or four minutes, you'll find a Chinese restaurant called The Tang. Interior: The interior is like a dorm with bunk beds. I booked a female dorm. There are dedicated showers and toilets on each floor, with individual shower stalls. The hot water and shower are both great. On the floor where the front desk is located, there's a food area that serves breakfast, with fruits, drinks, and coffee available from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Next to it, there are several tables and chairs for eating, reading, or just relaxing. Down one floor, there's a very spacious common kitchen with plenty of public pots, pans, dishes, etc. There's also a public refrigerator, four or five stoves with ovens, and another four or five stoves without ovens, all available for cooking. There's also a dining area nearby. Please refer to the photos and videos, which are all of the kitchen. Overall, I think it's very worthwhile, especially for solo travelers. It's economical, convenient, and stress-free. At an average of 500 RMB per night, it must be very cheap for New York. I saw many young people/students staying here. I recommend this place for individuals who want to explore New York casually. For family trips with two or three people, a regular hotel might be more suitable when you do the math.

Well, i understand that this is one is one of the most affordable accommodation in a prime location so the price is not cheap; however, i believe the room condition could be better 1. I found trace of glass shard in the room floor 2. The bathroom and toilet facility are quite small compared to room quantity 3. The bed condition is really bad and totally loosen

This hotel is located in Midtown on 8th Avenue, not far from Penn Station, making it very convenient for transportation. It's an old building with no elevator. The hotel is on the top floor, so you'll need to climb 59 steps to reach the front desk. The staff are helpful and will even assist you with carrying luggage upstairs. The rooms are small, partitioned off from a larger open-plan space, about three square meters each. Your suitcase can only fit under the bed. The top of the room is open for ventilation, which means there's almost no soundproofing. It's a bit like Hong Kong's 'cage homes' – if one person talks, almost everyone in the other rooms can hear it. Because of this, the hotel repeatedly emphasizes maintaining quiet. They provide free drinking water, and there's a microwave and refrigerator available for use. Breakfast includes milk, bread, butter, coffee, juice, cake, cereal, fruit, and soy milk. The hotel's background seems to be Nepalese Hinduism, as they emphasize vegetarianism. No meat products are allowed into the hotel, not even eggs.

I needed a place for an overnite stay, no time to enjoy the pool unfortunately, as I was using Moonlite to break up a long drive from Canada... My room was clean, bed was comfortable, although I would have personally preferred softer pillows, just the way I sleep. Microwave and fridge are always welcome, wish there had been a coffee maker as well, but I realize that some places forgo that convenience because they 'disappear'. Dunkin' Donuts is a short drive away, so not a problem. It's an older building, but the owners have made some upgrades, light switches, ceiling tiles, overhead lighs, and an easy to use modern 'deadbolt' that prevents unwanted access... Most appreciated was the help I received from Mary, whose family owns the place... I had a different reservation that needed to be changed (several weeks in advance) and the booking agency, Agoda, was making it difficult. Mary went above and beyond to assist me in cancelling the original, so I re-booked for the different date. Convenient, quiet location (I had a back corner room, and even with the window open, didn't notice much noise at all, despite the nearby highway. They deserve a better rating, when you need a place to stay, give them a try (just avoid Agoda!!)

The house has a large aftertaste, poor health, general sound insulation, no breakfast, coffee, convenient transportation, acceptable

This is a no friils, basic motel. If you're trying to save money on your lodging while traveling to New York City & surrounding areas, this is a great place to stay to save money. The motel is close to various local amenities as well as the Metro North train station. Taking the train will bring you to Grand Central Station in heart of NYC - Manhattan, in 30 minutes. I found the room, bed, linens and the bathroom to all be clean. The room had a mini fridge, microwave, mini drip style coffee maker, TV and a small desk. The bathroom had clean towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner. Though it was a bit cramped. The stand-up shower was great with good water pressure and plentiful hot water. There is parking in front of each room and it was fairly quiet. Again, this is a budget motel. So if you're not looking for anything fancy, I would recommend this place. Can't beat the price for being so close to NYC.

I thought it was a really relaxing place. Since June 5th, I have stayed several times in a row. I stayed for almost a month, but it is very convenient because there are restaurants, a market, and a convenience store nearby. Good location. After all, it's safe and secure, and it feels like a little sure house with a round on each floor. I want to use it again. The staff were all very kind. The front door is also safe with a security door. I was relieved with a security door that could not be easily invaded from the outside.

Staff were very welcoming and supportive, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a cheaper place to stay in Upper West Manhattan. One thing the beds could use is curtains, for privacy, and chargers, bunks like the latest Hostel International designs. I stayed in the private room during the week, so I'm not sure what the larger dorms are like.

Josh was a very friendly host. Checkin/Checkout was a breeze. As was the swimming pool. Large (for a motel), perfect for a proper swim and relaxation after a long drive. The room was decent. Yes, it's old school, and the bed is on the very soft side (if you prefer more firm beds, you might not like it), but it was clean, and all worked as it should. The shower head is fantastic. If you like a perfect water pressure, you'll love to refresh here. There is a petrol station nearby, as well as a local diner. For more than that, you'll have to drive to one of the nearby villages (5-10min drive) tl;dr: All great, would stay again. Bed mattress is very soft.

This hotel appears to have recently refurbished its rooms. Everything in the room and bathroom was new looking and clean. We had a king bed, which was nice but did not give much room on the sides, but it was adequate. The breakfast was very simple: 2 dry cereal choices, some package oatmeal, breads and small muffins, 2 juices, milk. Unfortunately the 'dining area' is in the reception area and only has 3 tables, despite many more rooms. It would have been nice to have a picnic bench or two outside for people to sit and chat or have breakfast. But the price was right and the rooms good. Surrounding hotels were trying to charge $300 and above.
