Social, Budget-Friendly Vibe in Uptown NYC

Located just one block from Broadway and a quick 10-minute stroll to Central Park, HI NYC Hostel offers an energetic, community-focused atmosphere in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper West Side. With free Wi-Fi, a movie lounge, and a spacious outdoor patio, this hostel is a go-to for travelers looking to meet people and explore the city on a budget. Dorm-style rooms with shared bathrooms keep things simple, while perks like towels, linens, and daily housekeeping add comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans love this hostel’s easy subway access—the 103rd Street Station is just two minutes away, getting you to Times Square and major venues in under 20 minutes. After a night out, return to a quiet residential neighborhood that offers a peaceful place to recharge. With late-night events and a social vibe in-house, you don’t even have to leave the property to keep the night going.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends who want a fun, shared space at a great price
Solo travelers catching a dream concert and looking to meet new people
Couples combining music and sightseeing in NYC
Fans needing a calm, affordable spot to unwind after the show
Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer to spend on tickets, not rooms

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, HI NYC Hostel offers a large communal kitchen perfect for late-night cooking or pre-concert meals. A café on-site serves snacks and beverages, and you’re within walking distance of plenty of casual eateries and corner delis. Guests especially love the flexibility to cook and eat on your own schedule.

Nightlife Options

The hostel hosts its own comedy nights, pub crawls, and variety shows—a great way to keep the energy going after a concert. If you're up for more, bars and lounges along Amsterdam Avenue and nearby Harlem offer a taste of local nightlife within walking distance.

What People Say

Travelers rave about the clean facilities, helpful staff, and vibrant social atmosphere. Many mention how easy it is to meet fellow music lovers and travelers. The location also gets high marks for being both safe and well-connected by public transit.

Areas for Improvement

If you’re expecting hotel-style luxury, this isn’t it. Rooms are dorm-style and bathrooms are shared, so privacy is minimal. Some guests have noted occasional noise from common areas, but earplugs usually do the trick.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a social, affordable place to crash after a concert in NYC, HI NYC Hostel hits all the right notes.

Exceptional

Liked: The cafe was good and affordable. The common rooms were comfortable and nicer than most hostels.
