Who can stay

Rooms
Dorms of different sizes (four to twelve beds have been listed) and a limited number of private rooms. Bigger dorms are cheaper; smaller ones are quieter. Private rooms sell out first in summer.
If it’s full: the same area has other budget options, and Midtown hostels are only a few subway stops away. Compare on the New York hostels page.
