Hostelling International (HI) is the leading provider and first choice for hostel stays around the world. HI-New York is renowned as the city’s premier hostel. We are the best of both worlds. Being the largest hostel in NYC, we offer a wide range of cool amenities and services to ensure that you have a very comfortable and fun stay with us.

We are truly NY’s international traveler’s hub. Why?
Because our location and organizational values to promote international exchange are the perfect mix for bringing people together, and giving them easy access to the best that NY has to offer.

Easily the best value for money in NY, we also provide all kinds of guest discounts on site to help make your travel budget go farther. Enjoy a great start to your morning with many inexpensive breakfast options at our main level café or catch-up on your emails at the Internet suite next door. Or just hangout in one of our many common areas or lounge spaces, including our beautiful back patio and garden – the largest private green space in all Manhattan!
