Right in Times Square! close to Subway and everything. Stayed for 5 nights in 4 bed dorm. Everything was super clean. How ever, it is also the most boring Hostel I've stayed at. No tours, people were boring and no one spoke to each other. But so close to everything it didn't bother me!

I stayed in a 4 beds room in the hostel and was satisfied with what was offered. In terms of cleanliness or atmosphere the Big Apple Hostel is no star, but it doesn't pretend to be. It is a simple place to crash for a short trip to NY. Located only 2 minutes from the time square it is a...

I really enjoyed my stay in Big Apple Hostel except the interaction with the staff at the reception. I always had the feeling to bother!!!

This hostel is just 2 minutes walk from Times Square and the Main Attractions. It's also just near the Subway Station. The room is clean as well as the Bathroom. There's an elevator which is quite useful when you carry big suitcase!! The common room and the kitchen are nice. You can have access to Internet, but it will cost...

Arriving here at 9pm NY time, for us 2am UK time, we arrived in the most miserable place I have ever set foot in. I have stayed in hostels all over the world and have never been in such a horrid mean looking place that can break the spirit, and the very least I expected here was a clean bed....
