The atmosphere here is cozy and inviting, and the cleanliness is impressive—no bad smells and spotless restrooms. However, security is a concern. I witnessed a theft incident and experienced issues with unregistered guests in the dorm room. The location is decent, with quick subway access, making it easy to explore the city, but be cautious with personal belongings.

This place suits me perfectly! The Wi-Fi, shared kitchen, and 24-hour reception are fantastic. The staff helped me find my way on my first stay, which I remember fondly. I'll return for Christmas!

Friendly staff and clean facilities. great spot for solo travellers

only one lift is not enough for so many guests, and common areas were a bit too warm. 🥵

Staying here with my friends was awesome! We enjoyed a walking tour that introduced us to hidden gems and explored a local market with delicious food. The communal kitchen is great for cooking together, and there are fun activities like pub crawls to meet other travelers. Just be ready for crowds!

I had a tough time when I arrived late at night. My bed was taken, and I had to wait for it to be cleaned, which was really annoying.

Perfect for a budget stay

Clean hostel, convenient location, with a huge kitchen that made it easy to prepare meals and a cozy cafe perfect for morning coffee, all just two blocks from the subway.

No

I had an amazing time! The hostel had a super well-equipped kitchen and a charming backyard. Took part in fun social events and enjoyed yoga classes too. The location was sweet, just a quick stroll to the subway and the vibe was unbeatable. Really felt like I was part of a community while exploring the city.

Solo traveler pros and cons

Definitely enjoyed how clean the bathrooms were, always saw staff working hard to keep everything tidy. The kitchen area was fantastic, had everything I needed to whip up a meal, felt like home cooking!

It wasn't exactly cheap but still manageable.

This was just a suitable option for a temporary stay in New York with exceptional value. The bathrooms were cleaned daily, which impressed me. Make sure to book an airport shuttle at least 24 hours in advance.

central park and museums just minutes away from this hostel

During my stay, I loved being just a 10-minute walk from Central Park and having the Met Museum only a 15-minute stroll away, making it so easy to enjoy the city's beauty and culture. the amenities were solid too, with lots of cafes and food options around to fuel my adventures! but the hostel could really improve on providing more detailed information for travelers about the local area.

The location of Hi is exceptional, nestled close to Central Park, providing easy access to various attractions. The common spaces are well-designed and conducive to socializing, and I particularly enjoyed participating in the comedy night event, which fostered a lively atmosphere. Water fountains were conveniently located, which was great for staying hydrated.

The mattress in my room was uncomfortable and needs replacement.

will definitely go back there again

The room had air conditioning, privacy curtains, and USB charging sockets. Showers were clean and spacious. The common kitchen was huge, making it easy to cook and store food. Laundry services were super affordable. The cafe stayed open late for snacks, and I loved the outdoor furniture in the patio area. Free Wi-Fi worked well throughout my stay.

My stay was great as I was visiting nearby attractions. The communal kitchen really stood out, allowing me to cook meals with friends. I also loved the fun activities organized like walking tours that introduced us to hidden gems. However, I had a frustrating experience with my bed being taken when I arrived late, which put a damper on the start of my trip.

Perfect spot in NYC!

I had such a blast! The location is so central, just a few blocks from the subway. The lounge areas are super cozy for hanging out. The staff were beyond helpful and friendly. The only thing I’d change is adding curtains to the beds for more privacy. Oh, and the snack bar was a nice touch too!

The hostel offered a vibrant atmosphere for solo travelers but

It lacked a bit in terms of quiet spaces for relaxation. The communal areas were lively and friendly, but if you're looking for solitude, it might be challenging at times. a great place to connect with others.
