Summary of traveller reviews

American Dream Hostel in New York offers a fantastic location, perfect for exploring the city. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the generous and tasty breakfast. While rooms are compact, they are kept clean. Some recent reviews mention noise from street or heaters, and limited bathroom facilities per floor can be an issue during peak times.

Nice hostel with nice people in a somewhat convenient location. Room was clean and comfortable. Nothing really special about this hostel but was at an affordable rate for a single room. Only issue was the single shower per floor. This is hardly adequate for a hostel this size. Otherwise, a nice stay.
