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 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.

It is a lovely hostel with great location. Cozy, clean and staffed with patient receptionists who always help the guest with a welcoming manner. Will definitely stay again.

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.
