The HI NYC Hostel was not an accommodation, but an unforgettable opportunity and experience.
Pros: Impressively efficient hostel in the middle of NYC. Easy check-in and check-out. Great activities for guests. Free first drink. Day-use lockers. Comfortable shared rooms with enough sleeping privacy. Cons: The bathrooms could use more signage that encourages people to pick up after themselves (removing their own hair from showers & sinks, wiping surfaces after use, etc.) The outdoor spaces could use some tidying and beautifying.
