Common questions
Do hostels have private rooms, or only dorms?
Most modern hostels offer both — mixed and female dorms plus private singles, doubles and family rooms with the same social vibe and kitchen. Filter Booking.com for “private room” if you want your own space at hostel prices.
Are hostels only for young backpackers?
Not any more — flashpackers, solo travellers, couples and even families use hostels for the price, the location and the social side. Read recent reviews to gauge whether a given hostel skews party or quiet.
Which area of New York is best for a hostel?
Stay central and well-connected so you're near the things you came for. Bagels, rooftops, comedy clubs, and the most walkable noise on earth. On Booking.com, switch to map view to see how each hostel sits relative to New York's main sights and transport, and sort by guest score to shortlist fast.
