INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS RESIDENCE

Affordable, Social Stay in the Heart of Brooklyn

Modern and minimal, INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS RESIDENCE is an adults-only hotel tucked into vibrant Williamsburg, Brooklyn — a hotspot for indie music lovers and nightlife explorers. With its hostel-style vibe and sleek, no-frills design, this spot caters especially well to younger travelers looking to stay connected while exploring NYC’s live music scene.

Expect free Wi-Fi throughout the property, comfortable shared amenities, and a location that puts you close to both Brooklyn venues and quick subway access into Manhattan. It’s a smart, social choice for those who value convenience, affordability, and community vibes over luxury extras.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the easy access to local music venues and subway stops, making late-night returns from Manhattan or Brooklyn shows a breeze. With a shared kitchen and vending machines available 24/7, it’s easy to grab a snack post-show. The hotel also offers ticket booking services at the front desk — perfect for snagging last-minute event access. Thanks to blackout curtains and air conditioning in select rooms, you can crash comfortably after an epic night out.

What People Say

Guests love the location and value, especially for concerts and events. Many highlight the helpful concierge staff, clean shared spaces, and the social atmosphere that makes it easy to meet fellow travelers. The free Wi-Fi and air-conditioned rooms also get frequent praise.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors note that rooms are on the compact side and the shared bathroom facilities may not suit everyone. It’s more hostel-style than hotel-luxe, so if you’re after plush bedding or room service at 2 a.m., this might not be your best bet.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a social, budget-friendly stay in Brooklyn with easy access to NYC’s top music venues, INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS RESIDENCE hits the right note.
