HI Hostel New York - Hostel Tour (Hostel International)

[@bsxboy]

I LOVE this hostel! It's in a good neighbourhood, literally a block away from subway. and with it, it takes less than 15 minutes to get to downtown Manhattan. Central Park is two block away, or so ... Not to mention the numerous daily activities that make it easy to meet with fellow travellers. I'm 36yo now, and while I am super comfy in my skin&age, being a regular guest at this hostel, annually, reminds me that I am getting older. :) It almost feels a bit inappropriate for me to stay there at my age, with my earnings ... But during every stay so far I have always met one quality individual I have stayed in touch with ever since. That's a treasure that never happens at hotels, or so rarely.

[@amgooder]

So there is an age limit? No oldies allowed?

[@mariegeorge8865]

I've gone cross-country three times, twice by Amtrak. Stayed at Hosteling International in Chicago, Flagstaff, Santa Monica, Monterey. Also been to Boston and Hyannis ones, too. Never disappointed. And I was in my 60s. Just like you, I met wonderful young people who invited me to hang out with them, wanted to be Facebook friends, etc. Never been to NY one and am looking forward to it this Fall. (I'm now 77--I have Nomad in me.😄)

[@reddffox]

Thank you so much for this! I'll be staying here on a solo trip next month, and it's my first ever hostel experience, so I've been a bit anxious wondering what it'll look and feel like. This video puts me at such ease. I feel like I already know my way around. :)

[@mariegeorge8865]

I hope to be going there this Fall 2024. I have only stayed at Hosteling International hostels and they are great! Thanks for that wonderful preview of what I'll see.😊

[@robertgrant1837]

I stayed here in 2014 for about three nights It, was good didn't have any problems at all probably one of the dearer hostels I have stayed in the US.

[@muazkabir531]

I’ll be visiting the hostel for 1 week in December and all the major travel destinations are pretty close to this hostel. So, pretty stoked about my first trip to US.

[@alluneedislove7460]

Great video! Thank you for the information and explanation! I’ll be coming for 1 night, hope it all goes well☺️

[@gloritabartholomew6585]

You Did an awesome job with this video. Thank you

[@northwest-e3q]

[@parthrajpal3574]

[@user-douriyanasrilb3ud2bs4n]

كاين نقل من مطار للهوستل مجاني ولالا؟

[@alluneedislove7460]

How was it? 🙏🏻

[@chenwang9276]

Thanks for the video! I’ve lived in this hostel before but I forgot how large the locker is. Do you think it’s big enough for a carry-on suitcase?

[@SonyaSunshines]

This looks really good.

[@guettechehoussem-jy6uc]

Thenk you for the information ❤

[@luizaartillero]

Thanks for your video, will be staying here this summer. Just wondering if a big luggage can fit the locker inside the room? Or is it safe to leave a big luggage beside the bed?

[@klaragadd8660]

Maybe not a big suitcase, but I would say it's safe to leave it in the room. I have never had something stolen but put all your valuables in the locker and lock it 😊

[@cvservicesindustry7969]

Thanks klara for the info , planning to visit it in mid sep , how about the security there (inside the rooms is it safe to leave your stuff etc..)

[@arturkapelewski]

sooo we're gonna see each other :D

[@ramiyousri5564]

Thanks a lot for your sharing, How far is it to Manhattan and I didnt catch any electricity source near to the bed for charging

[@gordongekko5441]

I will use this when im travel to new york. Good location. Hi hostel in santa monica is very familiar.

[@klaragadd8660]

The same branch definitely make you feel more connected and comfortable 😊

[@Hartchell]

[@gillianwurster]

[@sandracabezas6404]

[@naturelover2356]

[@klaragadd8660]

The food in the “cafeteria” is not free, go to 11.45 to see some of the prices 😊 and yes I do mention the washer and dryer prices at 7.11 hope that helps

[@jh4487]

Isn't the room hot? Does the air conditioner work well?

[@pedrosanchez8384]

can i ask if u just pay the booking at the hostel desk on arrival in cash they will keep asking u for a credit card ? in 1999 last time i stayed they never asked me for any at all thaks

[@gump5ter01]

I’m planning my next trip to nyc just now. I’m just back from nyc 2 weeks ago. I was there on a solo but was in a high end hotel. I didn’t really meet people and I think my hotel choice held me back in that sense. I’d never done a solo before. Would this be good option to meet folk do you think ?

[@MONEYAINTATHANG100]

Who are you attempting to meet?

[@gump5ter01]

@@MONEYAINTATHANG100 just other solo traveler’s. I know like I’ve done in about 20 other countries

[@mariegeorge8865]

Hostels are terrific places to meet people. Most people who stay at Hostels are similar personality and open to others.

[@ThirdEyeVisuals]

How did you find travelling around Manhattan from the hostel?

[@klaragadd8660]

It was pretty easy, the subway makes it very easy (but pay attention which side and direction you go towards), there is a busway one block away on 103 st, from the hostel to far down on broadway it takes about 23 min, pretty fast if you ask me 😊 hope that helps!

[@Ketut.Budiarta]

Could you please make an itenerary for new york?

[@Ketut.Budiarta]

Whats the distance from JFK airport?

[@vairaishadow]

i miss it

[@user-douriyanasrilb3ud2bs4n]

Ara there transportation from airport jfk to the hostel including in service or for free??

[@wagnersantos7748]

Is there air conditioner?

[@gilbertparas460]

soon be there..

[@alluneedislove7460]

Hi! How was it?☺️

[@amgooder]

Daily rates?

[@yaniakbari9952]

How to get there frim JFK by public transportaion

[@amgooder]

Good question.

[@RafaelSantos-hp1gr]

Is it safe and good for long stays? Like 15-30 days?

[@klaragadd8660]

Yes I would say so, I would say its safer than most hostels due to the card access and the two door access first to the lobby than to the actual hostel (you need a room card for this, to be able to get in) 😊 most hostels only have one closed door where you would need access!

[@bsxboy]

Yes, but every hostel has a maximum stay policy. And they are strict about it.

[@kiwilauren]

This one has a 21 days maximum stay per calendar year I believe.

[@RafaelSantos-oi7rb]

Thanks. I stayed there in June for 15 days. Only bad point is that people steal food in the kitchen, so do not leave your food there, apart from that, everything was perfect

[@mariegeorge8865]

​@@RafaelSantos-oi7rb: When I was traveling cross-country years ago, I'd leave extra fruit, desserts on table with a sign: "FREE " It was gone in 5 minutes!😂
