AAE NEW YORK CENTRAL PARK HOTEL & HOSTEL

"Stayed December 08. This place has 24hr reception/security. Girlfriend and I stayed in 8 person co-ed room. Building is old but kept well, had to fidget with radiator a bit to keep temp below 1000 degrees F :-). First night was great, with two other courteous guys, slept well. Second night there were three additional rowdy guys, but they were quiet at night. Prepare to meet some interesting people if you visit. Had no trouble with bathroom availability in the morning. Building is located close to two subway stations (on 103st) west of central park. One of the subway lines stops ~10:00pm (if you plan to stay out, take the correct line on return). After checkout they will hold your luggage until your flight that day. This was my first time to NYC, the staff was helpful and I felt safe at this hostel. I would stay again and recommend it to others" - Matt Shotwell

"For what you get this hostel could not have been better. Sure you have to share a bathroom and a room with 10 people, but besides that it was clean, secure, well kept, and inviting. Only stay here if you are a passive person and can tolerate people coming in and out of the room at all hours and you are considerate of people sleeping when you come in at odd hours. If you are not a jerk the whole concept will work. If you can't stand other people then go drop $250 on a hotel. " - Dustin Roses

"I thought this place was great, specially for the price. The subway is right there and central park and a little store to buy drink and food. and the front desk answered all of my questions. They do have a 2:00am curfue that kinda sucked but oh well. Overall the place was clean and they gave you a sheet, blanket, and pillow. I saw the cleaning staff working in the rooms and bathrooms. I would stay there again." - Julianne McCurdy
