Solo Backpacking in NYC: HI New York Hostel
HI New York Hostel. This place is good, for backpackers, and those who are just looking for a place to sleep, after a tiring day ?
I find the place funky ?.
There’s the reception, entertainment room, kitchen, laundry room and dining room. There’s washroom in every floor.
My room is a dormitory type, 8 females for 8 bunk beds, not bad. They provide towels, new linen, outlet and lockers. You just need to bring your own locks ?
I paid $111 for 2 nights. I have my reservation, as early as 2 months prior to my preferred dates, so its cheaper. They will charge $3 per night, for those who are non-member of the organization. So I paid $117 in total.
All in all, I enjoyed my stay here, as it is near the subway, and the place is clean ?
And of course, you can buy breakfast in the house ?
This looks like a fun place to stay in. Especially for backpackers. Thanks for sharing.
Bagels with cream cheese is my favourite breakfast in New York. I love hostels in New York. Perfect place to sleep as I don’t spend much time in the room at all. As long as it has a locker that’s all that I care about.
It looks like the hostel is comfy and clean and has lots of facilities that you need. It looks safe too which is most important.
Wow, I had pictured hostels being a lot less nicer than this place! Perhaps I should give them a try once I finally branch out into international travel!

Beautiful! My girlfriend and I are looking for an interesting place to travel this summer and this might actually make the list. Sending to her now to see what she thinks 🙂
I’ve always imagined hostels to be dirty, ugly and cheap looking. I may have to look into them in more detail next time. Great post!
I have never given hostels a try. I rememebr I wanted to try capsule hotel while we used to live in Japan but thta never happened. This hostel looks really nice and clean, the location makes it even better to stay at.
I’ve tried capsule hotel too in Kyoto, which is also good too ?
Looks like a really nice place to stay. The reception area looks so clean and cozy and I love that they provide towels and linen too. For that price for a two night stay, I think it is reasonable enough. Safety, proximity to the subway, and good places to eat nearby is good enough for me.
I can’t believe that it did not cost much to stay in that hostel for two days. It is in a good location and the place itself is clean and cozy. If I were traveling alone on a budget, I’d choose to stay there too.
Frankly speaking I don’t have an experience of staying in hostels, but this one looks very comfortable! And the fact that it is located near the subway is a huge advantage. I will consider this hostel for my future trip, thank you for sharing.
Looks really wonderful! bookmarking your post so I can use when I visit
It is funky indeed! Looks like a great place to stay.
Very well kept, who wouldn’t love to stay in a place as neat as this. Very well managed. Seems great.
