What is the safest NYC Hostel to stay at?|198010

Me and my 2 friends are going to go to NYC this October, I_ve been assigned with the bulk of the planning.. and I_m having trouble with where to stay.

We are on a tight budget, so we don_t want to splurge on the hotel, it is becoming clear that a Hostel will probably be the way to go.

Any suggestions? We want something safe of course, any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!

While I can_t help you with personal experience with Hostels, I can get you pointed in the right direction. First here is how to find NYC hostels:

And then I highly recommend looking the ones that you can afford and interest you on TripAdvisor.com - you_ll get honest reviews from real people on there. For example, you_ll see that the Chelsea Center Hostel rates pretty well:

Good luck!!

Check the list at http://www.hostelio.com/usa/new-york-city/
It sorts hostels with price ascending. Also pay attention to the ratings...

I usually try to find the lowest price with highest rating...

The YMCA_s have guest rooms. Some have private restrooms and you can use their gym facilities.
