The Local NY, hotel in Queens

This NYC hostel features a fully equipped common kitchen, free Wi-Fi and a rooftop terrace with skyline views. Guests can enjoy coffee, breakfast, beer, wine and cocktails on site.

It was a fantastic stay! I highly recommend if you are travelling to New York on a budget (or not honestly). It's right near a subway station that will bring you wherever you need. Easy to get to from the airport as well by public transport. The staff and others staying at the hotel are fantastic and the lobby is incredible. I highly recommend trying their latte, it was perfect! Compared to all the places I've been to in/near NYC, this is the best I've stayed at. I will definitely keep going there.

NY Moore Hostel, hotel in Queens

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, NY Moore Hostel offers accommodation in Brooklyn, 4 km from Barclays Center. Manhattan is 16 minutes' ride via the subway.

Room is clean, washroom is inside, convenient. There is a kitchen to use but the hostel won't provide breakfast. Staffs are friendly, there is a facility to keep the luggage after check out until your travel time. There are some restaurants outside like pizza place, bar to relax and enjoy some drinks. The outside area including the streets are full of garbage and grownup bushes, no maintenance by city, I didn't see safety is an issue, Morgen Ave subway is close by only 15 minutes to Manhattan.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Exceptionally clean throughout, towels replaced and bed made halfway through 2-night stay, good selection at breakfast, all day coffee and filtered water, great location one block from subway, 15 minutes to Times Square. Staff was friendly. Accommodations are very basic - like a hostel or dorm room - but spotlessly clean and comfortable.

    Great location, absolutely gorgeous staff, safe surroundings, a big supermarket nearby, close to subway (express line to WTC 20 minutes). A nice building with high ceilings, really clean with a nice kitchen and common room. You can easily walk to two piers at Long Island City Gantry Plaza or Hunters Point South (a little bit further but still walkable even at night). Ferries is a must, the views of Manhattan are absolutely stunning (4$ with 120-minute transfer window)

    One of the best budget hotels in NYC. The location is two stops from Central Park, in Long Island City—a very safe location with good Subway connections and multiple lines. Long Island City has many shops, cafes and even a classic Diner. All in walking distance from the hotel. The room has tea, coffee coffee-making place, microwave in the room. Special thanks to the hotel staff, which is very nice and welcoming. This was my second time here and I will stay here again.

    A Super-clean, compact hotel in a great location for a low price that included a very nice breakfast. Friendly reception staff, well-equipped (but smallish) room. Plenty of bars (Focal Point Brewery is 2 mins walk away) and restaurants nearby. Safe on-site parking ($20 per night). I stayed for just one night and did not want any more than this hotel provides. A good find and I would ceratainly recommend it to anyone.

    Good if you are traveling on a budget and cannot afford to stay in manhattan. The closest metro is 10-15 min walk and it is safe even at night (we didn’t see a soul around)

    The hostel is in a very accessible location, the subway is a short distance away and there are several lines N,W,7+E,F,R that lead to the center and downtown or uptown. Great location, nice and helpful staff, kitchenette, small room with a small shower, everything satisfactory.

    The staff is very helpful and friendly! Manisha and Swapna really took great care of us along with all the staff who are very helpful. Family friendly, kids friendly, safe, clean and great location. Was on a pricier end but ticks all the boxes for us.

    Very clean and organized, with silent rooms. Great location: easy access to many subway and bus lines, safe, close to restaurants and markets. Excellent kitchen and communal areas, including a nice rooftop and a very cool bar adjoining the hostel. There were activities for each day of the week, board games, and binders filled with NYC tips (legit, thoughtful and non-touristy) - small things that show you that management put some thought into giving guests chances to socialize and have a great trip in and out of the hostel.
