A guide to hostels in New York City

Are you thinking of visiting New York City for your next vacation? Either it is for a short weekend trip or for a long holiday, you should know that there are a lot accommodation options available. If you have a low budget or if you just want a place to sleep in, then consider the option of staying at a New York hostel. Read the following article which will provide you with a comprehensive guide to New York City hostels.

Why choose a hostel?

In New York City, you have a lot of accommodation options, from luxurious to moderate hotels, to budget hotels and hostels. If you have a certain budget for your holiday and you wish to spend your money elsewhere or if you do not care about your hotel and just need a place to sleep, consider staying in a New York City hostel. You will find a vast variety of hostels and you can choose the ideal one for you, according to the neighbourhood which you prefer and services you desire. Keep in mind that not all New York hostels can guarantee you a room. Many of them serve in a first – come first served basis. Moreover, it is always better to select a hostel which has been recommended to you.

How to choose your hostel?

Choosing the ideal neighbourhood for your accommodation depends entirely up to you. If you have already visited the New York City, you probably know where to stay. If you are visiting for the first time and you are in the city for tourism reasons, then you should preferably stay in Manhattan, somewhere between the 75th Street and Lower Manhattan, including the neighbourhoods of Midtown Manhattan, Chelsea, Soho, Greenwich Village, Upper West and Upper East side. If you want to be close to the economical centre of Manhattan, then you should search for a hostel in the Lower Manhattan. If you like an artistic neighborhood, stay on Chelsea, Soho or Greenwich Village. If you stay in Midtown Manhattan, you will be close to all the major attractions, including Central Park as well. But if you are interested in a good night’s sleep, avoid the Times Square hostels. Hostels in Manhattan may be more expensive compared to those in New York. However, if you are visiting for tourism, you are probably interested in the Manhattan area. Therefore, if you find a cheaper hostel far from Manhattan, you will spend a lot of money on transportation.This means that you should calculate all the possible expenses before taking your final decision. If you decide on avoiding the Manhattan area, you could find a decent hostel at a cheaper price in Harlem, Greenpoint or Brooklyn.
