The web page says, "Small lockers for valuables in every room." My room had none. You can't say you provide it, and then not do so. Other than that, it was fine, and clean. I can't confirm that there was hot water, though, which seems to be a frequent complaint. The "“VACATE notice posted:Do not Enter building-Conditions Perilous to Life”... More

I was freak out before I came to this hostel as i read a lot of negative reviews about the hostel. I arrived the hostel at night and have 2 guys helped me with my super duper heavy luggage. They are quite helpful during the 10 nights I stayed there. They only have bagels for breakfast, and you have to... More

it was perfectly fine, just dont think they should let guys sleep in the same rooms as girls no matter what.. everything was clean, no towels and no clean blankets.. they charge for everything.there isnt privacy but thats to be expected....

I reserved two nights but wrote v. early in the morning of my arrival to say due to travel problems I was unlikely to make that evening but would still be arriving the next morning. Was expecting them to charge for the missed night but wanted to warn I would still be wanting the second night. Arrived the next morning... More

Pros: The location is very good, just 1 block from the subway, about 10 min by the sybway to time square. few steps from broadway.The area is very safe. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable,clean linen and sheets with daily room cleaning. the room... More

This was not good! To start off they do not manage to put groups in the same room, even after communicating with them several times on email. Both long time in advance and just before our arrival. We were divided into several rooms, and someone was already in my bed! Also dont trust that you will sleep, the pipes make... More

I was perfectly happy with my stay at the Jazz Hostel on Amsterdam Avenue. The neighbourhood was quiet at night for a city, my bed was comfortable, the room temperature was fine (though I was in NYC at the beginning of spring, so the outdoor temperature wasn't overly hot or cold). I felt safe walking home from the subway station... More
