American Dream Hostel Reviews

Very friendly staff. Kitchen well stocked bit a bit cramped.

We really enjoyed our stay at the American Dream Hostel. The rooms were clean and well-heated, bathrooms were spotless. The owner was also very friendly and the breakfast was great! The location of the hostel is fantastic - a short walk to the subways and the neighbourhood itself is full of great bars and restaurants. Will definitely recommend this place to friends.

Fine B&B with good breakfast. The only bad thing was the loud heating in the rooms, it was really very loud. Unfortunately no communication room except breakfast room.

This was a good hostel, but staff should be more polite. The black guy at frontdesk was kinda rude.

The rooms were very clean and cozy, and though bathrooms were separate, each room has its own sink and mirror which was great. A small television, too. Breakfast was good, waffles, toast, cereal and fruit.

Brilliant location in the heart of Manhattern. Easy assess to every attraction and subway. Clean and friendly, definitely worth a stay if you're sightseeing all day and just want a warm bed to sleep.

I stayed here for five days before moving to a hostel with a more party atmosphere and younger crowd. This hostel doubles as a bed and breakfast so expect a lot of older couples and families. This is a great hostel if you want a few quiet nights to ensure you see all the sights during the day.

Friendly,responsive,accommodating staff. Sink & TV in clean private room(#17)a plus. A staff member helped me carry luggage to my room & then vanished (as opposed to standing with her hand out for tip after) Good breakfast--unlimited coffee,waffles, eggs, cereal. Room was nice and warm in December winter. Availability of computers in lounge another plus. Fellow guests(from S.America, Europe, Asia) were friendly. Near subway/bus to all points;short walk to Empire State Bldg. Will stay here again

American Dream Hostel is a nice place. But the price a little bit high for a student who is budgeting to travel around the USA.

The staff was very rude to me and I had a broken arm and they did not help me drag my bag up 2 huge flights of stairs

Very nice, extremely clean and well localized hostel. Cool interior design. Next time in NYC, we´ll definitely stay there again.

I had an amazing stay at American Dream Hostel. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. Cleans towels and bedlinnen were always available. The breakfast was delicious: every morning I woke up with the smell of freshly baked waffles! Served with a smile and always a nice chat. There was always someone at the frontdesk to provide you with help and information. The location was great as well, in less than 10 minutes you could arrive at Times Square. I would recommend this place to everyone!

Very well situated and clean

VERY Noisy Pipes in our room, made sleeping difficult when someone upstairs having a shower. Squeaky bunk beds & again difficult to sleep. Lack of a sink in toilet, have to go to room if you are not in the shower / toilet. Choice of breakfast very good. Close to Subway & restaurants etc ie good location.

Great breakfast!

Very nice friendly place to stay. Could have had more bathrooms per floor. Would definitely stay here again.

We had an excellent stay, staff was friendly, room & bathroom clean and breakfast as good as at home.

Very nice people in a good place to visit New York for a great price. The first day the showers impact you (they are clean, but are humble bathrooms like the one you have at home, not the typical gym showers), and the fact of having to clean the dishes after the breakfast. But soon you get used and for sure you will enjoy the estance. People who comment badly on this hostel haven't been to a lot of hostels!

We had a brilliant time in New York and a great stay in the American Dream Hostel. We would definitely stay there again. The location is perfect. It's very near the subway and just a short walk from union square. The area is safe and clean, as is the hostel. Staff are friendly and willing to show you the best spots of the city if you ask. Breakfast was generous and well prepared.

Very pricey bed and breakfast type hostel - however it is in Manhattan so it is well located to get across most of NYC. Cosy rooms and nice breakfast.
