The move turned out to be good though, because the first night I slept in a room which was clearly not renovated. The mattress was as hard as a gym mat, the plug by my bed did not work and the bed was too short for me and feet stuck out the back (6ft 3“). Also every room has a humidifier that runs 24/7 because the windows can only be opened a small crack. This humidifier is extremely loud and I could hear it through my noise cancelling AirPods playing music during the night. The blinds on the windows also don’t make the room completely dark, which doesn’t contribute to a good nights sleep after a long day exploring the city. The rooms all have bunk beds, but the old beds shake completely if one of the people in the beds move, making it very hard to fall asleep if you are paired with someone who moves a lot when they sleep.
My move after the first night I then had to move to a different room which had been renovated and was a lot better bed wise. The new room was now a 8 bed room instead of the 6 bed room I had booked and payed for. I was told this room was $9 cheaper than what I payed, but I was NOT refunded. These beds were very comfortable and also had blinds on each bed for some privacy, which was not possible in the old room. However this room had walking lights on the wall that could not be turned off, and lit up a good bit of the room. My roommates and I had to resort to covering them up with the trash cans so the room was dark. The blinds in this room also didnt close completely. There is one bathroom on every floor for each gender which was decently clean though, however the showers do NOT get warm and stay Ice cold, Not very pleasant…
Putting up with all of this would be fine if this hostel was 30-40$ a night, but knowing I paid over 80$ a night during this stay, I will definitely not return to this Hostel.
The HI Hostel was amazing. The staff was kind and helpful. The facilities was clean. The building had so much to offer, spaces, activities and a wonderful coffee shop.
I stayed here twice within my stay in NYC (went intestate for a few days in between).
The first time, I was in a 12 bed female dorm. The beds all had curtains and were comfy with a solid level of privacy. One of the nights I was there there was no hot water in the showers but this may have been due to a severe storm in NYC. I went to the hostel meet and greet party in the common area which was super well organised and a great way to meet others - and each person got two free drinks!
The second time I came back, I was in a 12 bed mixed dorm and unfortunately none of those beds had curtains or any privacy.
The location of the hotel is great. Particularly easy to get to the 103 Broadway subway station.
A solid hostel to stay in NYC with a good location.
EDIT: the heat & hot water DO NOT WORK here. Don’t book in the winter unless you have a strong desire to have an orphanage experience.
The dorms were clean. The bed could have been a little bit more comfortable. You get your own locker.
The common area is really good with a lot of sofas, a pool table, board games and tv area. There’s also a little cafe that has good coffee and pastries.
My friend and I had an issue with her bed being taken in our dorm when we arrived and the girl at the desk wasn’t really motivated to help us solve that. So my friend and I were in different rooms even though there was clearly a free bed in my room that she could have gotten.
Bathrooms got crowded in between. Some of the showers only had freezing water and waiting for another one to free up takes time (that you don’t have in NYC). Also the sinks were without soap in one of the ladies bathrooms for 2 days straight.
Just mentioning everything hoping it will improve in the future. Overall I’d stay here again.
Achei o hostel bastante seguro, com cartões de controle de acesso às áreas comuns e quartos.
Banheiros limpos e espaçosos, embora faltasse água quente. Os quartos poderiam ser limpos com maior frequência, pois achei muita poeira embaixo da cama. O ar condicionado estava quase sempre agradável, exceto em algumas noites que fez um frio que impossibilitava dormir. Basta pegar mais cobertas na recepção (assim como toalhas, eles te entregam sempre que você pede). Uma dica: o ar é muito seco no hostel por conta do ar condicionado e do purificador de ar, então tenha soro fisiológico com você, pois vai te dar muita qualidade na respiração!
Entretanto, definitivamente não gostei da falta de água quente nos banheiros. Eu consegui tomar banho quente todos os dias porque descobri o único box do 3° andar que estava contando com água quente.
Porém, no meu último dia, esse banheiro estava reservado para um grupo e quando questionei na recepção onde poderia encontrar outro banheiro com água quente, a atendente me disse que eu poderia procurar nos demais banheiros dos outros andares (não respondeu com má vontade, mas me deu a sensação que esse não é um problema que faz diferença pro hostel, mesmo estando no inverno). Eu procurei e não achei. Era uma reclamação geral das meninas.
