Hostels in New York State, United States

The West Side YMCA is definitely a no frills place to stay, but the location is excellent. You're right next to Central Park and Columbus Circle. Times Square is an easy walk south. We stayed in 2 different rooms. The first had a bunk bed and was quite small, but the bed was comfy and the room was clean. It also had a small TV and fridge. We had a semi-private bathroom, which was down the hall. This meant we had to scan our key on one of the bathroom doors to get in, but once inside we had privacy while we got cleaned up. The bathrooms were kept clean and tidy. We were able to upgrade the second half of our stay to a room with a larger bed and an in room bathroom. Again, this hotel is no frills. It can be rough around the edges, but it's clean and comfortable at the end of a long day of sightseeing. We did not have time to take advantage of the gym, the pool, the sauna, and stuff like that, but they looked nice. I'd recommend the West Side YMCA. If you're visiting NYC, you should be out doing stuff, not sitting around the room. It was everything we needed it to be.

The best hostel in NYC (ps: ensure no food in room!!!!! , otherwise tom & gerry will not make u be peaceful haha, besides fantastic, esp the employees are the best 🤍)

Had a brilliant experience here. For such an affordable stay the quality was excellent, the room was lovely, clean and cosy and the services offered were great - kitchen, lounge, computer/library area and laundry room. They also have activities like movie nights which is such a great bonus. The staff were extremely kind - especially Yari - who helped my friend and I when we missed our bus. We really felt taken care of. The location is also great and well connected with a subway station a few minutes away and it felt safe walking home at night. I couldn't believe we found this place and that it was as good as it seemed, especially for NYC! I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you so much to the staff who made our stay so enjoyable ❤

The place is affordable and convenient

is ok, fairly clean, friendly and helpful stuff, 24 hours reception, can check-in at any time. next to the train track, very noisy, AC inside the room but makes noise, you cannot sleep without earplugs, unless terribly tired like I was. Felt very safe in the area, I arrived at 02:00 am using the subway, and left 03:00 am with no problems. shop right next to the hostel. across the road other shops for food which are cheaper, only a short train ride to the main attractions. Large kitchen, 2 large fridges, pool table, large seating area in the basement too noisy because of the train track next to the window, noisy AC, no lift, steep stairs, cleanness of toilets was not to the best.

never should one consider staying there for any reason. It was nightmare! I mean everything there is worse than terrible. Simply a place like a shelter for drug users or metamorphosis. Much of the stuff are indeed indescribable! Not about the service, the cleaness the location etc... it's about the safety! One should never consider spending a night in a place that a metamorphosis howling all night long and having fun farting burping loudly ...while not dare to make the tiniest sound but waiting for the morning to escape....

Hilton Garden Inn has always been my go-to place, and although I have enjoyed my stay at every single one I have gone to so far (Evanston IL and Springfield MA), this Ithaca location has been the best one thus far. We came to Ithaca to visit the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and upon discovering that Ithaca had a HGI, we booked right away. Every single staff member at Ithaca was patient, more than willing to help, and gave just the right information at the right time. The care and attentiveness actually started a few days before our check-in day, with Jessica and Rachel responding to any question I had asked. I appreciated that the wellness texts continued during our visit as well. There were two restaurants onsite, and the area also has many eateries that we grew to love (especially CollegeTown Bagels!). Parking was conveniently across the street from the onsite Starbucks. The entire room was clean, beds were very comfortable for the weary travelers, and as an added touch, the front lobby featured delicacies that were made by local businesses. I really appreciated that connection to the community, and believe that it definitely puts the Ithaca location above all others. Whenever we are back in Ithaca, we will be sure to book at HGI Ithaca again. Thank you so much for a memorable and pleasant stay!

We checked out after one night and cancelled our other reservation with you. We came to town for a wedding and my friends who were getting married clearly didn’t visit your “hotel” before booking a room block with you. Booking the reservation was problematic. You didn’t offer them any sort of discount as an incentive when they booked the room block, which my wife and I found to be discourteous. We didn’t book online since there was no way to activate the room block discount (which as mentioned above, didn’t exist). They gave us two separate reservations, so this prolonged process of confirming two reservations took about 30 minutes, and I already regretted it. Your motel is located next to a TGIFriday’s which was a blessing since we were starving when we got there, but it was really closer to Baldwin rather than RVC and should have been advertised as such. There is no privacy or any sense of security. When we got to the parking lot, we were greeted by many people milling about and talking in the parking lot. Throughout our stay, they were there, and it made us very uncomfortable, sometimes as many as 20 people in a party just hanging out in the lot. Why would you let them do this? Our friend who was also staying with you told us that someone tried to come into her room unannounced, so after that, we decided we couldn’t trust the staff and didn’t want turn down service. The room was okay, not great. The bed mattress felt sunken in and old. The bathroom was disproportionate and missing at least a towel rack. There was a screw in the wall that used to hang something where the mirror now sat. The room was dark and dreary. The clicker was missing a battery cover and didn’t work, so no TV. The WiFi was inconsistent. When my wife said we were leaving and wouldn’t need the second reservation for the two additional nights, the guy at the front desk barely batted an eyelash. He called me two hours later to confirm that I had left. I wouldn’t come back to this motel even if it was free.

The order to pay at the store will have a fee of US$1.62 at the end of the next day. It is a so-called security fund. If the customer does not pay attention to it, please cancel it because it is not used. The hotel will not cancel the customer. Deduct the money, ask the customer to pay attention to the bill, or will pay more for this money.

Send your daughter to school and choose this hotel. The transportation is very convenient, very close to TJMAXX and MASHALLS, you can buy cheap and good quality goods. The hotel has a guest lounge, although no breakfast is available, but there are free coffee, pastries, boiling water and microwaves, as well as free computers and printers. The front desk is very welcoming, and also helps with luggage. It should be said that the price is very high. I will choose it next time.

…It’s not bad, but most of the youth hostels don’t feel like tourists, they are more likely to be working people

A typical American breakfast, you can have enough, the front desk is very good, and you can pick up hot water and coffee at any time. Although the surrounding environment is not prosperous, it is not far from the city center. Walk to Times Square for about 15-20 minutes and walk to Central Station for about 30-40 minutes.

Good hotel in a low price

The hotel is simple, soundproof is not good, all kinds of people have! There are no neighbors, it is close to the airport, 3 minutes by car.

Very speechless, usually less than 100 knives in the hotel, encountered the price of the American Golf final 160. I have lived in Quality inn before and I feel okay. I didn't expect the sheets and quilts in my room to have yellow stains. Then I will take a bath for one night without undressing and the next day. Unfortunately, the bathtub did not leave hot water for 10 minutes. Good wash basin wash face out. Then spit, go out and wait for Uber. The driver clicked the navigation and turned around 2 times and didn't find the hotel. Finally, the customer came to pick it up. He said that the navigation led to the back of the hotel. Fortunately, he found me with wisdom. Finally, it is worth mentioning that the front desk service is good, I saved my luggage, and I care that my Uber did not receive the cloud.

The room booked for my daughter, I can't stay in the dormitory early in the school, booked two nights, the room is small, but the foreign rooms are like this, the bed is more comfortable.

The hotel service is very good, the equipment is very new, and it feels safer than the other hotels in this time. The room is large, comfortable, and the location is good. It's not too far away if you drive.

The price is cheap in Kangcun, take a taxi to Cornell for 8-9 dollars, about 10 minutes, the front desk service can be, the price is good, the breakfast is generally the same, but this price is already available, you can go to the opposite supermarket to buy things, very convenient
