Jazz on the Park Hostel: Jazz on the Park Hostel, NYC New York City Hostel
well, i stayed 4 days here. This hostel has 2 different locations to work. one near central park and another a bit more down. one is jazz on the park and the other is jazz on the town hostel. this jazz on the park has 2 different buildings. the main and another one just 2 blocks away on Central Park West 106 Street.
i find this hostel a bit farway from downtown and midtown. i guess your hostel location in nyc is very important and you should take in consideration what you want to visit in town. as in this trip i made to the city i wanted to stay and see some stuff in uptown and the area of central park i choose this one to its locations.
Unique Qualities: the place is celan ans big. the bathrooms are kind if ok for youth hostels. one of the nights someone was being beeten just 3 rooms from me. for half an hours some one was being puched and kicked until i called the police. the area of this hostel is not very good altough is also not very bad hehe.
staff at the hostel are nice, at the time, all latinas girls.
you can check the internet at the main building for a couple of dollars and you have free breakfast until 10am. i payed $33 for each night.
information i took from their website on how to get there:
“Once at Columbus Circle (59th Street) Station in Manhattan transfer from the “A” train to the uptown “B” or “C” train. Exit the subway at 103rd Street and Central Park. Walk north on Central Park West to 106 Street. Turn left, the hostel is the second building from the corner. “
