I stayed here on my first night of my RTW trip - the owner, Young, was helpful & friendly and was able to give me a bit of information on Brooklyn and New York City when I arrived. The rooms and bathrooms were nice & clean, the only downside was the noisy air con unit that kept me up at... More

My friend and I just stayed in this hostel for 3 nights and were very impressed with it. Location: In terms of location it is excellent, it is about 5 minutes from the Bedford Avenue Subway stop which takes about ten minutes to get into central Manhattan on the L line. (I would recommend buying an unlimited subway card as... More

Quite a ZEN find in an extremely cool nabe... Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It's a 2-story loft! Breakfast included, three bedrooms [two with 2 bunkbeds for 4 people] and 2 full bathrooms [one on each floor]. The main floor has a full kitchen for clientele to use--beautiful... and it opens up to a full roof-deck overlooking Manhattan. Totally perfect for having your... More

I had previously given ZIP112 a glowing review and while the points about location and appropriateness for single female travellers still hold, I felt like I should give a more up-to-date review.

First hostel experience where an unbroken nights sleep is the norm. Williamsburg is a happening 'hood' without the chains. 10 minutes on L subway to union square. Stunning views of Manhattan from roof terrace.

The place was easy to find just a short walk from the nearest subway. The area itself is really trendy and young with... More

I stayed here for two nights. It's perfectly located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a short walk from the subway and the East River Ferry which goes to Manhattan and Dumbo in Brooklyn. There are also cute markets near. The room was really nice and the whole place was very clean! It felt very homely and the host was friendly and helpful.

Great hostel,great location, easy access to the subway - buy a weeklong metrocard for 29 dollars we saved a lot of money, if you want to escape the business of manhatten. Rooms light large lockers available comfortable beds. Supermarket round the corner great bars And restaurants available as well. Great view of skyline at night from the balcony. Easy access... More
