At the hostel, all rooms come with a private bathroom with a shower. Firstly, fabulous beautiful staff. I had a Hassel with booking in thru booking.com, and the hot guy in red T fixed with ease. Panic-merchant here, resolved from there. Ortiz is beautiful in all ways. Thank you, Ortiz. And the guy at reception, also gorgeous, helped me with other info excellent. Enough about the staff. The location is excellent. I walked to the station with my bag. Super close to all attractions. Pods are super duper. I wish all hostels would do same. Only problem for me was a tad expensive with exchange rate Australian dollar. Oh well, it's only money. I was super happy with it all. Thank you guys. Cheers Rebecca from Oz :-)

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, NY Moore Hostel offers accommodation in Brooklyn, 4 km from Barclays Center. Manhattan is 16 minutes' ride via the subway.

Each dormitory-style room at this Brooklyn hostel offers modern furnishing. Every room includes a private or shared bathroom. Everything was amazing! I would say it is rather hotel then hostel😝 Especially access to a well-stocked kitchen and lounge, as well as the possibility of leaving luggage in a locked room before or after check-in or check-out. Very nice personel and good localization... I can recommend this place to everyone!

This uptown New York hostel is 1 block from Broadway Street and a 10-minute walk to Central Park. It features free Wi-Fi, a movie lounge, and a large patio.

The hostel offers many activities including pub crawls, night club events and in-house comedy and variety shows. So many facilities, clean, volunteers who helped you get around town, many tours. One of the best hostels I have ever experienced (and I have visited many hostels over the years). Will definitely come back!

NYC HomeBnB is located in Jersey City, within 3.4 km of Ellis Island and 10 km of Bloomingdale'S. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is set 2.2 km from Statue of Liberty.

One World Observatory is 10 km from the hostel, while New York University is 11 km away. Newark Liberty International Airport is 12 km from the property. I loved everything! The staff is amazing, super nice and always available. I booked a mixed dorm but a few days before my stay the staff contacted me asking me if I wanted to be moved to a female one since they had space. I’ve never been greeted so friendly and nicely in a B&B. The room was perfectly clean and the bathroom too, the bed was comfy, and the sheets were perfectly clean. You can use the kitchen in case you need it or store your things in the fridge. The location is nice, close to the college area and easy to reach. I would absolutely recommend it, and the price is really good too!
