History

Established in 1998.

Jazz Hostels opened it’s first location (Jazz on the Park) in 1998, at a time when there were few hostels in the New York City. For the last 10 years we’ve provided fun, comfortable, clean, and safe accommodations to travelers from all over the world. In 2006, we expanded to include 4 more New York locations; in 2007 we opened Jazz on South Beach in Miami; and in 2008 we opened our first international property in Montréal, Quebec.

Each of our locations offers a unique experience, artfully designed with a range of room types for any group size or budget, and with plenty of common areas for guests to meet and hang out with fellow travelers. our friendly multi-​lingual staff is always available to help guests get comfortable or provide any tourist information that’s needed.

Come stay with us!

This was my first ever hostelling experience, on my first ever night in NYC. It started well, when I called for directions and got them from a friendly dude, but then continued poorly when I walked 15 blocks in the wrong direction. I suck.
I stayed four nights, and since I had friends in town staying elsewhere I spent the majority of my time with them, and subsequently my memories of Jazz on the City are seen through a hazy drunken fog. However, the common area/​bar/​internet terminals upstairs were good, and the staff were pretty helpful, to the point where they managed to understand a hammered Aussie staggering in at 5:00am asking for a «fax from his dad». They couldn’t decipher what I was talking about when I asked for a towel, but I was slurring pretty heavily.
Beds were average, facilities were good, solid place to stay.

Havent stayed here in a long time, but when I did stay there like 6 years ago, it was a good place. Good location. Cheap night.

Super location! Steps away from the subway. The building is a six floor walk-​up. My room was on the fourth floor. We booked a 2 bed dorm. The room was spacious and consisted of bunk beds, six lockers, 3 windows, a hair dryer, and a small bathroom. Every room has its own bathroom. Linen and towels are included. They leave extra towels on the sixth floor for the taking. There’s also a roof deck, TV, and internet on the sixth floor. This hostel does not have a kitchen, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby. I would definitely stay here again.

My friend and I stayed here during our first ever trip to NYC. The staff was great. We stayed in a 12 all female dorm. I never had a problem with the amount of girls and a single bathroom. Everything worked out great. Made a couple new friends. Mostly people who travel internationally stay here. It’s completely safe and close to the subway. If you like going to Church there’s a Catholic Church down the street. That was a perk for us. My only complain is there is no fridge. But there is a little liquor store next door.

I love to travel and when I do, I like to live cheap. I don’t mean cheap as in living in the backside with a homeless person. I mean hostels. For any of you who like to travel hostel style, you know how hard it is to find a good one. This particular NYC hostel is conveniently located next to Central Park. As Deanna M. mentioned, its a nice 15 min. walk to the MET via the park. The closest subway stop is a block down and in case you need directions, you can always ask the friendly staff.
The rooms are kept clean and lockers are provided in each room. However, there is one particular 6 bed room that doesn’t have lockers, but the staff lets you use another set in a nearby room. NOTE — I was under the impression that they provide free wireless but when I arrived and inquired about the same, the staff said they don’t have it. They said I could try to log on to another wireless connection but it never worked out. For that, I had to shell out some money on their internet kiosks. This is a no frills small hostel, there is no common area except for the one on the roof. The staff and their friends can be very noisy late at night. I am a patient person and fall asleep easily so it wasn’t a problem for me. Overall, an average hostel. It is convenient and cheap but I am sure there are better options in NYC.

I stayed here as part of my first ever NYC experience. My friend and I got a private room. It was clean, comfortable, with a nice view. The beds were very comfortable and I slept very well. Plus, it was the middle of winter, and it was warm and toasty. I have no complaints whatsoever.
