The New York Loft Hostel Reviews

Good hostel, good value for the money, but only in New York City where everything costs an arm and a leg... My biggest complaint is one of the shared bathrooms in our hall had a sink the size of a salad bowl. I could barely wash my hands in it, never mind wash my face without spilling water out of it. Also, the shower in there had no hot water and no hooks on the wall to hang a towel. It was completely dysfunctional and really slowed down my morning routine. Also, there were no paper towels in the bathroom!

Hostel was very nice and I loved the building, atmosphere, and BBQ -night. This is an excellent hostel!

The cab service recommended by the hostel was terrible. They not only tried to rip me off, but also complained about the location of my destination and made racist remarks about it. Overall, I enjoyed my stay a lot. It was nice to be able to have a drink with others in the backyard/kitchen area, however it was almost impossible to find any quiet time here. Most hostels enforce quiet hours, and I couldn't tell if that was the case here, but it was loud for most of the night.

Great hostel, bit expensive on the weekends but the free BBQ on Friday and Sunday is great and the breakfast every morning is pretty epic (even if it is a bit disorganised). Hostel was very clean, loads of room in the bedrooms, bathrooms were also great. Staff were ok nothing special, didn't really need them for much though anyway. Location is abit far out but easily accessible I walked round a fair bit at night and it was fine. Overall great value.

Neighborhood is ugly and smells, you can get much better locations in the city for the same price. While the rooms are clean and the hostel is overall in good shape, the location is horrible, far away, and ghettoish.

What a great hostel, single beds, lots of space, free bbq 3 days a week.. If i\'d ever return to NY, this would be the place to stay for me, no doubt about it. Also, respect to the guy doing the BBQ, he\'s got a hard job with all the piranha\'s!

The BBQ was fun - no real vegetarian options though, so that would have been nice to have. The staff was nice and helpful. Biggest negative was when I changed my sheets and saw blood stains on the pillow and bed. Other than that, It was great!

i actually fell in love with this hostel in Brooklyn, and i've been to alot of hostels and never said that about any of them before!!

I stayed at the New York Loft Hostel with my 22 year old daughter. We wanted to stay in Brooklyn to explore the Williamsburg area as she may need to visit NYC frequently for work and we wanted her to get comfortable with the hostel and it's surrounding area. We love the industrial area surrounding the hostel and found the food, coffee shops and vintage clothing stores to be amazing. We stayed in a private room and shared the bath. It worked out fine. The room is very small and there is no AC.

great place & nice people.

Thank you I enjoyed my stay

Best hostel i've ever stayed at, fantastic

The location was amazing and gave access to most anything one might need for any period of time; long or short. The room mates were friendly but no overbearing, and the staff was more than willing to help out with whatever needs I had. My stay was extremely short, but when I'm back in New York in the future, this will be where I go.

My friend and I had a private room with a bathroom which was not cheap at close to $200/night. The sheets were dirty hair in them and stains-yuck!!!! The springs in the bed were really hard and poking me in the ribs all night and there was no screen in the window. So the choice was to be hot and shut it or open it and let bugs in and so high up (not safe). The staff were nice as they came and changed the sheets but we should not have had to tell anyone to do that :(

The NY Loft Hostel was superbly designed to fit the needs and taste of any young traveler. The facility was incredibly well designed, and perfectly organized to serve a demographic of visitors, often otherwise overlooked. This was my second stay the brilliantly restored loft hostel, and surely not my last!

Awesome hostel great layout and location, kitchen could do with another/ better hot plate so 2 people can cook at same time!

Confortable et propre. Proche de la station de métro. Les dortoirs sont fidèles aux photos du site, les lits proches sont séparés par des cloisons mitoyennes. Le petit déjeuner gratuit est varié et copieux ! Certains pourraient cependant être gênés par le bruit la nuit.

Everything was excellent, I will love to return.

Very nice, clean place. Neighbourhood looks shabby but is save. Many artists have moved there. Two little stores, cafe and bar near by. Subway station close by. Stayed in a 8-bed dorm, very clean and spacious. No bunk beds, everyone has its one bed with light. Would definitely recommend this place!

i had a great time at the loft! Enjoyed the BBQ!
