Auberges de jeunesse de New York, États-Unis

J'ai séjourné une semaine au HI New York City Hostel, et voici mon retour d’expérience détaillé. Points positifs : L’emplacement : Généralement, l’auberge est située dans l’Upper West Side, un quartier calme. On est à 2 minutes à pied du métro et à deux pas de Central Park. La propreté : Les dortoirs, les salles de bain partagées et les espaces communs sont nettoyés. Les équipements : Casiers individuels dans les chambres, lumière et prise USB par lit. La cuisine commune est très grande Le personnel : Correct mais pas toujours très chaleureux. On sent le personnel rodé à gérer un gros volume. L’enregistrement (check-in) peut être long aux heures de pointe.

This is very much a classic, old-fashioned American motel, but it is not the kind of place you need to be overly worried about. The sheets and towels are changed, and small packets of all-in-one shampoo are provided. The bathroom has a bathtub and shower with a shower curtain. There can occasionally be a slight odor, which is probably the main downside. The hair dryer is an old-style black unit mounted on the wall, and it may remind you of the kinds of dryers that used to be common in motels years ago. The room includes a refrigerator, microwave, and television. Wi-Fi is available and generally convenient, although it sometimes disconnects, which is part of the motel’s charm. Cell phone reception is also somewhat weak, but I was still able to get a signal. During my stay, AT&T and Verizon were not particularly strong, while T-Mobile seemed to work better. All of the buildings are single-story, and the parking lot is spacious, so finding a place to park should not be a problem. There also appears to be a Chinese restaurant attached to the reception area, although I never saw it open during my stay. Staff are usually available at the front desk from around 9:00 a.m. until about 11:00 p.m. For arrivals outside those hours, you can call in advance. There is a key lockbox outside, and you can open it using a passcode, so late-night check-in is still easy and convenient. This is not a luxurious property, but it is a practical and reasonably comfortable motel, especially for travelers arriving by car and watching baseball games in Allstar village.

L'emplacement est excellent. Vous pouvez voir Central Park depuis la fenêtre. L'apparence du bâtiment est très classique avec de superbes sculptures en briques. Il y a une piscine dans l'hôtel. Il y a également un marché gratuit à proximité. Il existe également de nombreuses possibilités de restauration.

Situé sur la 8e Avenue, dans le quartier de Midtown, à proximité de Penn Station, l'hôtel bénéficie d'une excellente desserte. Il s'agit d'un immeuble ancien sans ascenseur ; l'hôtel occupe le dernier étage, accessible par un escalier de 59 marches. Le personnel est très serviable et se charge de monter les bagages. Les chambres sont de petites cabines aménagées dans un grand appartement de plain-pied, d'environ trois mètres carrés chacune. Les bagages doivent être rangés sous le lit. Les plafonds ouverts pour la ventilation offrent une isolation phonique quasi inexistante, un peu comme les logements-cages de Hong Kong. On entend facilement la voix d'une personne dans presque toutes les chambres, c'est pourquoi l'hôtel insiste sur l'importance du calme. De l'eau potable est fournie gratuitement, et un micro-ondes et un réfrigérateur sont à disposition. Le petit-déjeuner comprend lait, pain, beurre, café, jus de fruits, gâteau, céréales, fruits, lait de soja, etc. L'hôtel semble s'inspirer de l'hindouisme népalais et privilégie le végétarisme ; la viande et les œufs ne sont pas autorisés.

房子煙餘味較大，衞生稍差，隔音一般，沒有早餐，有咖啡，交通方便，尚可

This is a no friils, basic motel. If you're trying to save money on your lodging while traveling to New York City & surrounding areas, this is a great place to stay to save money. The motel is close to various local amenities as well as the Metro North train station. Taking the train will bring you to Grand Central Station in heart of NYC - Manhattan, in 30 minutes. I found the room, bed, linens and the bathroom to all be clean. The room had a mini fridge, microwave, mini drip style coffee maker, TV and a small desk. The bathroom had clean towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner. Though it was a bit cramped. The stand-up shower was great with good water pressure and plentiful hot water. There is parking in front of each room and it was fairly quiet. Again, this is a budget motel. So if you're not looking for anything fancy, I would recommend this place. Can't beat the price for being so close to NYC.

是圖片中的古典風格，浴室雖然共用但很乾凈，是獨間的衞浴。提供吹風 微波爐 冰箱。地點非常贊，在第八大道，離地鐵 Penny station 和LIRR火車站均步行5分鐘。附近超市 小吃店 洗衣房都有，很熱鬧的地方。我們住的房型有個樓梯爬到暗樓的床上，肯定沒有同一層方便，但上上下下習慣後也不覺得有問題。

Our room was clean, had a microwave and mini fridge that suited our needs. However, it seemed very disorganized with no management and reception. Upon arrival for check-in, only the cleaning staff were on-site, and the owner/manager didn't inform them of our arrival. So our room was not ready and we had to leave for about an hour to give them time to prepare it. Another inconvenience was that there is no breakfast (even though our booking itinerary said complimentary breakfast 7:30-9:30am). We went to the lobby around 7:45am in search for breakfast, but the place was locked/closed and no one was around. Overall, clear communication, oganization and services from management can be improved, though luckily we were mostly there just to have a place to shower and sleep.

I have to say the location was perfect I was 5 mins from the venue. But walking in it looked great clean and no issues but getting to our floor walls were dirty they had towels tucked in maintenance door looked sketchy. When I opened my door to my room it was small but clean. Would have liked a closet or whatever to put clothes in I was there for a wedding but we made it work. I don’t say stuff to scare ppl but if you just looking for a place to rest your head and get going this is your place. Even though it seemed a bit crazy in halls. I slept I got up and had an amazing time at the wedding. Also within walking distance is Mc Ds, Wendy’s, Dunkin’s with parking in the lot. So it had its pros and cons but for the money I paid location and food. It was good!

Il y a une place pour se garer, mais j'ai l'impression que la chambre est normale. Je ne comprends pas si les draps sont remplacés et qu'il n'y a pas d'air chaud dans la pièce. Il fait très froid en avril.
