The New York Loft Hostel Reviews

The hostel is modern and very clean. The rooms are light and the lockers are rather big. I arrived too early for the check-in, but I could store my stuff in a storage room all day. You can do the same during the day of your departure for a 3$ fee. The hostel is located close to a subway station, so it's no problem at all to drive from Brooklyn to Manhattan. The breakfast is a little too early (from 6-9am) but pretty good anyways. I loved the coloured arrows on the walls leading you everywhere.

This is an excellent hostel with all the trimmings, let down by grumpy staff. The breakfast was huge, and everything else was great.

they added sales tax to my bill when i arrived which i was not aware of beforehand,our room was booked as a twin we ended up with a tiny room with a bunk bed,poor use of a breakfast room with lots of queuing for the sink and washing facilities.......good location for manhattan though as morgan ave subway is just round the corner

Dont ever close this place. We meet very nice people, location was perfect. and you cant beat the price for NEW YORK! Cant say enough good about this Hostel! Thanks for making our trip GREAT!!!!! Alexa Groth

The facilities are great, the price is great, it's near the L train into Manhattan, and there's free food! A lot of international travellers, all of whom were really friendly. Have stayed here twice and love it.

There was no ventilation in the room so it got a bit uncomfortable. The breakfast is probably fairly American, very sugary that is, but not good.

Very nice staff, but lousy atmosphere in regards to the other guests: dead silence at breakfast... I don't know if that had something to do with the equally poor breakfast choices. I have been told that the area around is not safe, but i enjoyed it and there is a bike-rental shop just next door. My room-mate came in at 3.50am in the morning, turned on the lights and began to bang and shuffle around and make noise! Not great....

Thanks for my stay at your hostel : the personal was very helpful and the rooms very clean. Audrey from Paris & Guadeloupe :-)

no hooks to hang clothes either in the bathroom of sleeping rooms staff was helpful, very expensive for the obscure location

One of the best hostels I've stayed at! Thank you

The cleanliness should be better, and made more regulary, I mean, I could see only one people per time cleaning all the hostel. The sheets and towels should be replaced daily. Also I got some problems with lockers which are not closing, that should be definitly replaced by large ones. The kitchen should be kept open during all night because people arrives all time in the hostel.

very good hostel, perhaps a bit far from center of williamsburg but not really a problem as the L line is two block from the hostel. wifi, huge breakfast, very clean room, not so expensive, calm...

Really liked this place - might be out of the way for some, but it's 1 minute walk from the Morgan Avenue L train, which takes 15 minutes to Manhatten. Right in the heart of Bushwick which had lots of local galleries, bars and restaurants to explore itself - comparable to London's Hackney Wick. The hostel itself was great - in a beautiful old converted industrial building, very clean, and with friendly staff who were always at the front desk. Great free breakfast every day as well. Recommend.

There is blood stain on my sheet and two times I see the toilet in full of scary.

Walls are paper thin and area is a bit iffy!

Great hostel! Comfortable and excellent amenities!

Very nice hostel, the patio is just amazing to chill out and there is some nice cafes and restaurants nearby. Also, there is a subway station really close if you want to go to manhattan. There is also some graffitis around, which makes the atmosphere really nice. I was just for two days at this hostel, but if I come back to new york I'd stay there for long rather than other ones. Thanks!

There is a nice, fun atmosphere but, unfortunately, the beds are really not very comfortable and you can hear the metal doors to the stairwell and other rooms slamming throughout the night. I wanted to like, but I just didn't sleep very well

The breakfast stopped too early. no coffee after 9 o clock

Overall the place is great. I would stay there again because it is so close to a subway station and JFK airport. The staff is helpful but doesn't seem eager to help. Check in took much longer than it should have because the staff was not paying attention and made me wait 30 minutes before assisting me. One more thing, the place is clean but there was mold growing on the ceiling of one of the bathrooms. This is probably due to the fact that there is very little ventilation in bathroom.
