We did stay one night in Jazz on the Villa, Harlem. Not the nicest of neighbourhoods but the buildings were reminiscent of Sesame Street which did lull me into a false sense of security. We were not happy coming back here at night time as we were scared. The hostel itself was staffed by quite rude people and although the... More

We stayed 3 days there and it was very nice. The staff was very good and nice. Possibility to park your car on a closed place. Very close of Manhattan, we could go there by foot and discover NY easily. Cheaper than a hostel at Manhattan. To be recommended.

The hostel is okay. The AC makes a lot of noise, bring ear plugs !! Cleaner showers would've been better !! The Neighbourhood is okay, lots of convenience stores in walking distance. Close to 3 subway lignes (Green Red and blue)

We stayed in a family room that had a double bed, bunk beds and a plasma TV in it. All private rooms in this... More
