Interfaith Retreats is located in New York, 300 metres from Madison Square Garden.The hostel offers a space for spiritual retreat in the midst of New York City.

This unique hostel uses the proceeds from guest room reservations to provide hot meals for people who are homeless. Guests are welcome to help volunteer to serve meals if interested. The staff were amazing! I saw around 5 staff during my stay and they were all very accommodating and helpful. The location was PERFECT! It is near everything I needed to go to, and I only walked! I only needed to take the train on my arrival and when I had to leave. There was a KFC and a Panda Express less than 5 mins away, and a lot of other restos/bars and convenience stores too. It was clean everywhere, all the time. They clean the toilets all throughout the day and you have everything you need -- from tissue (all kinds) to shampoo and soaps, hair dryer and iron. Free 'breakfast'!. Fruits, scones, bread, all kinds of spreads and teas, coffee are also available all day. They also have cereals and oats. Thank you Yana! The scones were delicious! It was surprisingly quiet! I've been to quite a few hostels all over the world and I did not expect it would be so quiet especially at night. The guests respect the rules. Everyone kept their noise to a bare minimum and even when around 4-5 people are having breakfast at the same time, no one is talking! There were quite a few times when I heard some guests talking a bit loud but it didn't last longer than 15 mins. It was also in the afternoon so did not affect my sleep. The cubicles were quite small, I expected it, but it had what I needed -- a small side table with lights and sockets. I had to put my luggage on the bed though to be able to pack prooperly. It was quite cold and I needed to ask for an extra blanket which the lady gave me without hesitation. For the price I had to pay, I would say it's worth it. It is not the most spacious but if you're looking for something affordable, it is your best bet! I am so glad to have booked Interfaith Retreats and I couldn't recommend them enough!

Located in New York, 3.2 km from Metropolitan Museum of Art, East Harlem Hostel features express check-in and check-out and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is set 4.9 km from Strawberry Fields, 4.9 km from Central Park and 5.4 km from Yankee Stadium. The property is non-smoking and is situated 3.1 km from Columbia University. Location was perfect for me, as I was visiting a friend who lives in Archcare health facility. It was less than a mile to reach his nursing home and an easy walk with convenience stores and restaurants along the way. Neighborhood is a little rougher than some other parts of Manhattan, but I never felt unsafe. Hostel was impeccably clean and the housekeeping staff were excellent. One even helped me get my suitcase down the stairs on checkout day!

We walked from here to most of the main tourist hotspots or a subway station is very close too. The room was expected size for New York, but the three of us were very comfortable. The facilities were clean and had really cool artwork everywhere. The staff were lovely and accomodating and the breakfast each morning was lovely. Would absolutely stay here again, really great choice and value for money. Also had great security on the building and always feel secure and safe.
