The location was good, very convenient. Close to everything you need (restaurants, grocery stores, laundry, metro station, etc.). The team was very efficient. There is a good café inside the hostel, with reasonable prices. I felt safe there.

KAMA CENTRAL PARK, hotel in Queens

Located in New York, KAMA CENTRAL PARK has a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property.

I really enjoy staying in Kama Central Park for two nights! The staff was always helpful and I was surprised that there was only two beds in one room which made it more comfortable for me. There were as well cool features in the capsule bed that activates by the given card.

Chrystie Street Apartments, hotel in Queens

These accommodations with kitchen facilities are in the Lower East Side in New York.

Very nice gentleman who showed us to our apartment. Gave us tips of where to eat, and some details about the neighborhood as we walked to the units. He was the best part of the experience, no complaints with him. The neighborhood is a mixed bag, but I consider it a positive being next to a park, a subway station, and so many great food options. I will say the price would be a great value for 4-8 people, if it wasn't for the negatives below.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
