Hostelworld says
Hostelling International New York has been praised by many of our visitors for their sociable atmosphere. Our guests say their staff are "very helpful and welcoming", they have "good communal areas to mingle" in and "they offer a lot of extra activities (tours, trips) which are value-for-money". There's two metro stations within two blocks, connecting directly to the Lincoln Centre, Times Square, Penn Station, Brooklyn and Soho. We like their large sunken patio - a rare space to stretch out in Manhattan.
