American Dream Bed and Breakfast is a family owned business that has been home for travellers here in New York for the past 15 years.

Conveniently located in Manhattan’s historical Gramercy Park and Flatiron District neighborhood, American Dream is a stone’s throw away from some of the city’s popular sites and destinations: the Empire State Building, Flatiron Building, Madison Square Park and Union Square.

All rooms are private with bunk beds and are equipped mirror, TV, AC, heater.

Bathrooms are shared and are located on each floor.

All accommodations include complimentary breakfast and free use of Wi-Fi.

Breakfast is served daily between 8am-11am. We served alongside assorted cereal, toast, donuts, seasonal fresh fruit, coffee, and various teas every morning. Snacks (cookies and breakfast bars) are also available throughout the day.

Kitchen is equipped with microwave and refrigerator.

Internet kiosks come with printer and scanner.

Skipped an expensive hotel and stayed at American Dream for 2 nights. Not luxury digs by any means, but clean and walking or subway distance to everything. Spent the money saved on delicious grub and experiences. Made the whole trip feasible for us!

The location of this place is great for getting around Manhattan. My biggest criticism is the heaters in the rooms are not able to be turned off, this lead to the room being far too hot for the duration of our stay. If they can fix this issue, this is a great hostel
