The hostel is very loud.If you plan to sleep, it might be the wrong place for you. The hostel also lacks airconditioning in the summer so you will have to take frequent showers to survive the night. I also noticed that they don't change the sheets at this hostel which migh be why I started to itch after staying here.... more

CentralParkHostel, Manager

Firstly the management of Central Park Hostel wishes to confirm its reputation as a friendly single traveler destination. After over 10 years of operation, we have improved and exceeded our guest expectations. We do take reservations in advance. It must be noted that the guest in question stayed at this hostel for only one night as a walk in and...

I'm going to rate this for what it is...a hostel. The first thing we like was that they did not charge us taxes. It was $95 fair and square. There were no elevators and they gave us a room in the 5th floor...so that sucked. However, the room was nice. There were two twin beds, 4 little lockers, a small... more

A friend and I booked a private twin room with some trepidation - we wanted a cheap base from which to explore NY for a few days, but were worried about staying in a hostel. Most worries were proven to be unfounded - the room was clean and comfortable. There was a girls only bathroom on our floor which was... more

I have mixed feelings about this place. I enjoyed the fact that there were guests of all age groups and not the just the usual teenage backpackers. And yes, it is clean, safe, quiet, and wonderfully located (only two steps away from the subway and Central Park), but there were some problems. There was only ONE common bathroom for 20... more

I stayed at the Hostel International for couple days before comming to the CPH. Since they informed me and my friend we couldnt stay we came to the ``nearest place to keep our luggage``, I waited for 1 hour and dissappeared to the museum, sure when we came back the rooms were all sold out, and we had to take... more

We stayed in the twin double studio apartment & paid on average $160 a night. We had 2 comfy double beds, a tv, wardrobe, fridge, microwave & our own bathroom with toilet, sink & shower. We were really impressed, the room was cleaned daily & the shower was remarkably clean. I would recommend this place to anyone. If I was... more

I went here in December to chaperone my daughter and some of her friends flying in from around the country. I was a little nervous at first about the whole idea of staying in a hostel but upon arriving those fears where quickly put to rest. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The cleanliness was outstanding. They location was... more

Ok, lets face it.... Whan can you actually expect by paying a hundred dollars a night?... Me and my sister stayed on this hostel 4 nights. We had a room on the lobby floor, facing the street. At the check in we were advised that room was noisy and that the could have another one on an upper floor but... more

This is perfect for the budget traveller. Decent, hotel standard rooms, with room service daily. The location is ideal. One short trip on the subway can get you into the centre of downtown. The staff were really nice and the standard of the hostel was very good. I would definatley stay here again in the future. I was jubious at... more
