1) The position of the young hostel is really nice, because you just need to walk 5-10mn and you are in Central Park. Moreover, the underground station is only 5mn away. So it's really efficient if you want to explore the city because everything is near the hostel. There is a lots of restaurants around there if you want to go out eat something.
2) The staff is really really kind ! When I arrive, I had a problem with me credit card, I was really stressed due to the flight and the arrive at the hostel with the underground. So, I am really grateful to the staff who was there when I arrive. Vraiment un immense merci ! :)
3) Events on Thursday for meeting others travelers and just talking were really cool.
4) The Wi-Fi was perfect, really interesting if you have some problems with your phone connection.
5) You can enter and go out when you want, at any hours.
6) The air conditional was really necessary during the June's month with the temperatures. I was not disturb by the noise during the night because I wore headphones, but I know that the other mens were disturbing by the noise.
7) If you are afraid of travelling (no problem), it's sure. You have an access card to the hostel and nobody can enter inside the hostel without this card. Moreover, this is the same thing for entering in your room. You can not access it without your own access card.
8) The garden is really breathtaking, really beautiful and quiet. (Moreover, nobody who are not staying at the hostel can not enter in the garden).

The rooms were good, the bathrooms clean (as far as that is possible with several users), the location was perfect for a weekend to explore the city! And you occasionally meet nice people in the kitchen to chat.
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Fantastic location for the price, we really enjoyed the area and felt very safe at all hours. The private bathrooms were good and clean, for a hostel it was very quiet (we were on an upper floor). Very pleasantly surprised that towels were provided in the twin bunk bed room, I hadn’t expected this from a hostel.
I have stayed at this place for three to four days because it was my short trip but I have never seen such a hostel and that too near such memorable locations and if anyone has a hotel or hostel within their less money and less budget. If you want to reserve it, I will recommend it and go with it and it is available at a very cheap price.
Best place to stay in NYC & best hostel I’ve ever stayed 🥇 Amazing staff, amazing communal areas including lots of outdoor social space, kitchen & cinema room. Social activities & great location in Central Park West.
The different tours from the hostel were really nice. It was easy to meet new people. Especially if you are traveling alone. You have everything you need there!
Also the cafe in the hostel was good and cheaper than some other places.
But all in all i really enjoyed the place an liked it. Would definitely come back!
Excellent location in safe area. We were out all day & into evening and just needed somewhere to crash for the nights we were in NY. It did the job. Bunk bed was king single size, little creaky, but slept well on all 3 nights. Aircon old & bit noisy, but good white noise to drown out comings & goings of hostel (not that we heard this). Bathrooms were old but clean. Good to be able to access gym & pool.
It was what we expected for the money paid.
It's a cheap an popular hostel and as a female solo traveler I felt mostly safe. The doors open with a card you're given at check in.
The patio is really nice and they have a small cafe downstairs.
Even though it's the upper west side so it's quite far away from the modt popular parts of Manhattan, by taking the subway you can be at lower Manhattan in 30 minutes which is better than staying at Brooklyn or Queens etc. Also the neighborhood seemed nice and fine, no super scatchy places.
Very cheap for Manhattan. Perfect location. Very big hostel - many guests of all ages and nationalities (so you don’t feel too old by being in a youth hostel).
It was a great location just a few stops on the subway from airport, and near all the places I visited. I was very happy with my room and the bed was comfortable. I was happy with the security and safety of my belongings and myself. If I return to New York I will book into West side Youth Hostel again.
