Hostelling International New York, New York

We're located in the heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side, only two blocks from Central Park, two main subway lines, Columbia University, lots of bars, restaurants and neighborhood shops, a 24 hour grocery store and only a 20 minute train ride to Times Square, Penn Station, Port Authority, Grand Central Station and many other landmarks that make New York City one of the leading tourist attraction in the world! You can spend your evenings in our sunken patio (Manhattan's largest privately owned Green space) or on our 2nd floor balcony-- rarities in space-conscious Manhattan-- or join one of our nightly happy hours tours, pub-crawls, or clubbing nights. If you feel like staying in, our in-house theater offers a perfect opportunity to rest up and reinvigorate for the coming days. Our billiards room or interactive Wii are great ways to meet fellow hostellers while spending time relaxing. We plan daily tours and events to help you make the most of your stay. But, if you'd prefer to go it alone, our helpful info staff (on duty 24/7) will gladly provide you with a map and advise you before you leave to help make the best of your adventure.Please note that all guests who are not Hostelling International members will be charged an additional Temporary Membership Fee of $3 per person per night, due upon on arrival.Here is a list of some exciting fun at HI-NYC -Welcome Reception - Every Monday and Thursday night at 7:30pm - Don't miss them! -Free Volunteer-led tours and evening outing seven days a week at the hostel-Pub Crawls every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 9pm-Friday and Saturday Night Clubbing Events-Four nights a week, in-house comedy and variety shows in our theater room-Jerry's Grand Tour - Saturday at 10am and Tuesday at 11am - 12 + hour Tour of NYC-And many more events**VISIT THE LOBBY TO SIGN UP FOR EVENTS & TOURS* 20 minutes to Times Square, Penn Station and Midtown * HUGE common kitchen* All newly renovated bathrooms and showers* FREE linens & towels* FREE Wifi 24/7* 24/7 reception - no lock out or curfew* Private Lockers - bring your own lock* On-site coin operated laundry * FREE billiards/pool* FREE daily tours and events* Internet Room with public computers* 24/7 lounge and game room* 24/7 snacks and drinks available* Large, yet cozy Theater Room* FREE Wii * Tons of great bars, and restaurants and local shops nearby* Fantastic, friendly staff on hand 24/7* Individual heat / air conditioning in each room* Great atmosphereThe largest, and BEST, hostel in all of the Americas!!
