Which Hostel can I use in New York City?

By Iris Aube


In the Big Apple, you get different variations of Hostel. From a single rooms to a twinbed, all Hostel have similarities: The hostel guests have to share a shower and almost always also a living room with the other guests. Depending on whether you prefer a single or shared room, the hostel located in the USA slight from 15 / night up to $ 50 / night. Compared to the price of a hotelroom in the USA, Hostels are generally much cheaper.

But what really distinguishes a hotel from a hostel in New York City? The biggest difference is of course the price difference, but that does not automatically mean that a hostel is not clean or is uncomfortable. In addition to comfortable living rooms and so called lounges, it is not unusual that in a hostel in New York City, books or DVD's are offered for the general public. Which can usually be borrowed against a deposit or be seen in the lounge for free. The atmosphere in the hostel is much more comfortable than in a hotel. On top of that by the shareable spaces such as meeting room, bathroom and kitchen you get to know new almost always friendly people. It's not unusual that you find friends with whom we jointly enjoy the nightlife of the Big Apple or take an excursion the next day to one of the many attractions of New York. So you will probably have less privacy in a hostel, but have a much larger number of friends than in a different accommodation. Visitors at a hostel in New York are often much younger but also more enterprising than hotel guests. Many of the visitors are students, trainees or professionals middle-aged which even want to know anything other than to drive to the normal vacations. Through the use of many shared rooms in a hostel, they offer to use a locker, where guests can include their valuables, such as laptop, tablet, mobile phone and wallet. Now they should sleep safely without to worry to much.

What are the different types of hostel in New York? The largest hostel Organization named the HI Hostel Hostelling International. Among the many worldwide hostels, you they are known by the offer of many trips or athletic activities. Worldwide with up to fife thousand hostels, they are represented with one in Big Apple City. The HI New York City - Manhattan hostel offers more than six hundred accommodations and is stated at the amount of at least forty-nine U.S. dollars / night, which is much to high. Who, however, has not experienced a bad experience and appreciate the level of accommodation with the Hostelling International might overlook at the price. To sleep at the H.I. Hostel in the U.S., the residents needs a member card which he has to ask before he starts with his trip. In addition to the Hostelling International hostel there are also so called independent hostels existing. Most of them are backpacker hostel. Since they are Independent the level of comfortability changes very significantly. From nice to small rooms and scruffy little broom closet it can be everything found. Therefore you should read the reviews of other guests previously, before booking an Independent Hostel. A well-intentioned proposal, if a hostel has no criticism on the web note, the opening date of the hostel. If it has just reopened, this is certainly a good thing. Curiously, the resident should, however, be suspicious with Independent hostels that have been open for some time and have no review. You should rethink why such a Hostel has no rating. A common thing of Independent Hostel, is that the guest must have no membership card for the night.

Quite another way to stay is the boutique hostel. Which are characterized by the fact that they are particularly unique and often provide the level of a hotel, as opposed to the common rooms of a hostel. There is the term boutique which has no restriction or something similar. It has be noticed that recently a lot of hostels use the label "boutique" in their hostel, even if they have never been close to a boutique hostel. Helps only one thing: If you want in a boutique hostel in New York City, see the reviews and pics of the other guests and compare them to the offered pictures of the owner. There are also the non-fixed Hostel, which are built up in a giant city at a large event. In Munich, we know them in the form of tents erected during an event e.g the Oktoberfest. Insofar as we know, there are in contrast to the New York City Hostel no mobile ones, for this reason, we wont dig into that deeper. So we can say that there are three types of Big Apple Hostels. Almost all Hostel are Independent and boutique hostel in the Big Apple. But anyone who has had good experiences with the HI hostel, should stay at the HI Hostel.

What should you look at, if you book your Hostel in the Big Apple? The largest should always be the placement of a hostel. Where is the hostel, is it adjacent to downtown New York or do you have to use 1.5 hours the train to get to everything. As with hotels reports thake a look at hostel reports as well. But keep in mind that it takes a few weeks to a couple for the hostel to have set the reviews online. So do not be too critical with recently opened hostel if the inhabitants have not set a report yet. Check out the prices. In New York the hostel varies from fifteen euros up to fifty euros. From experiences, it can be said, that you will have something unique in every price category. The prices level is about how much you are getting and where the Hostel is located in the Big Apple.
