Re: Manhattan hostels: anyone ever stayed in one?
I stayed in the YHA on Amsterdam Avenue (around 102nd street-ish, i think) back in 2002. $32/night to share a 12-man dorm. Back then the exchange rate was $1.40/£1 so that cost me like £23/night. god.
The rooms were bunkbeds, but clean; the facilities fine, but my issues were:
1- some guy refused to sleep with the air con on in the middle of june. 12 adult males putting out body heat whilst sleeping in a hot city = not pleasant
2- a fat guy above my head snoring.
So I ended up staying up at night, watching the World Cup, then going to bed at 5am and sleeping till lunch.
