My favorite hostel used to be Manhattan Inn but it got replaced with L Hostels opened. Brand new condos that were changed into a hostel at the last moment. Free breakfast, 2 roof top terraces, luggage storage, lockers in the room (bring your own lock), pool table, ping pong table, lounge room with 2 flat screen each with dvds and... more

When we got to the hostel, the clerk told us that all beds in our room were taken (it was obviously given to others) but he gave us a better room for the same price. Just one problem about room 416-- no lockers! They are organised activities such as clubbing, visiting NYC, Halloween party, etc... Rooms are very nice and... more

My husband and I stayed for 3 days, first time in NYC, loved the city!!!, The Hostel was cute, clean, always full of people, didnt communicate much with the staff. Free breakfast, didnt take advantage of that, so i wouldnt know if it was really free, but either way its $1 for a bagel, so its a good buy. I... more

I stayed one week in this hostel, for about 200 dollars in a 4 bed male dorm with bath and WC ensuite. It is a very nice place with new rooms, that don't look cheap and you can actually make yourself comfortable in them. The location (Harlem) was no problem for us, it seemed to be a safe part of... more

I stayed at L Hostel Oct. 10-11 and was shocked upon arrival to find there were NO MORE BEDS available and the hostel charged us $27 each TO SLEEP ON THE FLOOR! We arrived very late and not knowing the area or where else to go, we had no choice. The person at the front desk was NOT friendly or... more

The L is located close to the subway and bus stops so it is easy to reach. On the phone, the person I spoke with wasn't well informed about the hostel. He didn't know whether there was 1 or 2 bathroom for a dorm that is not considered "ensuite". Information like this is helpful for someone. Upon arrival, we were... more
