Tiny hostel, well situated within easy walking distance of Union Square subway. Bearing in mind that you won't be spending two much time here, it's perfectly fine for a short stay (I stayed for ten days). The six bed room (three bunk beds, just opposite reception) was small, but just large enough, bathroom adequate, bedding was clean. Staff welcoming and... more

My friend and I stayed in this hostel because it looked like they were clean, cheap and cheerful - which is what you need when you dont want to blow your whole budget over XMAS and NYE. The place was easy enough to find, close to most things - midtown, different subways buses etc. It was a bit of a... more

Ok, read a lot of reviews on pretty much all the hostels available in NYC. I thought this one would be a great choice due to two main factors in my selection: 1) location (I've lived in NYC for a year), 2) price. Indeed, the two were very much answered and justified but all the rest, well you can forget... more

Stayed here for two nights last year. It's in a brownstone within walking distance to the east village and NYU. this place probably isn't super convenient for midtown tourist sites, but the subway is like 3 blocks away. The daytime staff were polite and helpful. The room was very small (but hey it's manhattan) with metal bunk beds and small... more

This dorm style hostel has is in a great location. Walking distance to some of the most fun younger areas of New York. Value wise though you get what you paid for. My friend and I stayed in both a 6 and 4 person dorm. The six person was very loud due to the people coming in and out and... more

Terrible checkin! Despite having booked a shared room for me and two friends online we were stuck waiting for over an hour at 4am while incompetent and downright rude checkin staff messed around with some new booking 'system' which they apparently had no idea how to use. It is a small hostel, so why they could not just make a... more

Great location! Walking distance to the subway and the super fun east village! The positives: location, cleanliness, price The negatives: no elevator, bathroom was a bit small, especially for so many people. I would definitely stay here again as you can beat the price! more

So.. me and a friend were looking for a place to stay with plenty of bars/restaurants nearby, in a good location in NYC and the main reason was that it had to be cheap!! We happened to come across Jazz on the Town on the net and after doing some research on the East Village area we decided that this... more

This was my 6th time to New York and the first time that I have stayed at a Hostel. Having read mixed reviews about the Jazz on the Town I was a bit apprehensive about staying here as I had no idea what kind of experience it would be. But, at a cost of only £20 per night over a... more
