Located in a beautiful Victorian building, New York's best youth hostel offers dormitories for 4 to 12 people.
The only decent youth hostel in New York City! Located in a huge, flamboyant red Victorian-style building on the Upper West Side near Columbia University, this establishment has dormitories with bunk beds that can accommodate four to twelve people. Bathrooms are common in almost all bedrooms. Also: an automatic laundry, a television room, Internet access, a kitchen, a games room and a spacious garden. Book at least two weeks in advance in summer.

EDIT: the heat & hot water DO NOT WORK here. Don’t book in the winter unless you have a strong desire to have an orphanage experience.
The dorms were clean. The bed could have been a little bit more comfortable. You get your own locker.
The common area is really good with a lot of sofas, a pool table, board games and tv area. There’s also a little cafe that has good coffee and pastries.
My friend and I had an issue with her bed being taken in our dorm when we arrived and the girl at the desk wasn’t really motivated to help us solve that. So my friend and I were in different rooms even though there was clearly a free bed in my room that she could have gotten.
Bathrooms got crowded in between. Some of the showers only had freezing water and waiting for another one to free up takes time (that you don’t have in NYC). Also the sinks were without soap in one of the ladies bathrooms for 2 days straight.
Just mentioning everything hoping it will improve in the future. Overall I’d stay here again.
