Jazz on Columbus Circle Hostel

Blink and you'll miss it, but the Jazz Columbus Circle is right there near 56th and 8th, between the LenWich and Wendy's. There's no branding or signage on the door or even the front desk but, trust me, it's there and you're at the right place.||Pack a towel. New health measures mean they don't provide those anymore. They make coffee in the mornings, but the equipment isn't maintained well, and there's always a supply of bagels, but there's no way to know how long those have been there.||If you bring home a doggy bag from your dinner out, you can store it in the communal fridge but there's no way to heat your leftovers back up as the microwave is out of order. Need a glass of water in the middle of the night? The fridge dispenses filtered water. You'll just be waiting a while, though, as i

Location is good. FULL STOP. Amenities and facilities lacking. No AC in common area, AC broken not fixed. Summer time hot weather. Sharing fridge a mess, no label. Guest took other guest items from fridge, happened to me. When check in, rest room soap dispenser empty, have to ask them to refill. I stayed for 4 nights, on third day I went to front desk to ask for a new towel. The staff said need to charge $5 for towel, what!! I have stayed in a few backpacker hostel, this is definitely not recommended

The location is really central, only 15 minutes walk away from Central park, 15 Minutes walk away from times square, 12-15minutes walk away from Rockefeller Center. The entrance to hostel is very unclear as there is no billboard or signage, but still i could find it. The free breakfast on 3rd floor includes bagel, coffee, jam and butter. There is also a kitchen, free for guests to use. The room is good, but there are no toiletries (except hand wash) and also no towel, so do bring everything with you. The metallic bunker beds are okay but whenever we turn our side, they make noise, some make more and some make less. The blanket is really thin, but there is central heating and each room has its own thermostate, so you can set the temperature according to your need. The blanket and sheet look

I stayed here for approx six nights over the Christmas holidays. I had a really good stay the location is unbelievable you have Central Park literally on you’re door step,as well as excellent transport links close by to get around the city. You’re also relatively close to Times Square and the Rockefeller Centre. The rooms are fairly spacious,clean and the showers were good,the prices were reasonable and the Internet was also brilliant. The staff were very helpful and took an interest in you’re background,life etc. I would absolutely stay here again in fact I’m hoping to book a flight shortly for later on in the year to NYC.

Very nice hostel at a really good price! The staff is super kind and helpful and the rooms are standard hostel rooms. It has a really nice common area where you can get coffee and/or tea and sit down for a bit. Location is also great! We walked everywhere or took the subway, there’s plenty of lines nearby. Highly recommend it! 😊😊
