Best Youth Hostels

Bowery's Whitehouse Hotel of New York "... the newest and coolest hostel in the No-Ho District of  New York City/Manhattan for students, backpackers, and travelers on a budget. Just blocks away from NYU, Cooper Union, The Time Cafe, Greenwich Village, CBGB's, and New York's hottest night spots and restaurants, The Whitehouse is close and convenient to everything New York is famous for.  In fact, it is the ONLY student hostel in New York City with single and double  air-conditioned accommodations at dormitory-style rates! You can even have Cable TV in your room if you wish!.   So no more worrying about your personal items.  At the Whitehouse, you get your own accommodation which only you have access to so you and your  personal items are SAFE!... We offer you privacy at extremely low rates.  We can do this very inexpensively because our rooms are small (just large enough to sleep in),  and simple, and the ceilings consist of open  "latticework" so that sound does travel across the entire floor of rooms.  So you are not getting the luxury of a regular expensive hotel room.  But that would cost a fortune!  And you do get physical privacy, i.e. your own room, with a lock on it, and no sharing with strangers.   And you get that privacy at a price that simply cannot beat..."

New York Bed and Breakfasts

Bed and Breakfast Mont Morris Manhattan "... located in the Mount Morris Park Historic District of Manhattan. This guest house (built in 1896) is in a four-storey brownstone on a tree-lined residential block. This browstone is a private residence which is beautifully decorated with a mixture of antiques and contemporary pieces...Harlem is currently one of Manhattan's hottest real estate locations. The Mount Morris Historic district is one of the most architecturally attractive parts of Harlem. Bordering on Marcus Garvey Park, most of the buildings were constructed in the late 19th Century as one-family residences for wealthy merchants. Currently there is extensive renovation and construction as the area undergoes an economic revival, both residential and commercial, as evidenced by the new stores opening and the scores of newly rehabbed homes. Harlem is far away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Manhattan, however you will hear music in the streets, and will see people socializing on the sidewalks." From $89 a night.

Bibi's Garden Brooklyn. 20 minutes to Manhattan and 3 minutes to subway. Charming Victorian. From $100 a night.
