very Friendly and welcoming hostel. The room are pretty big and the it's a nice place to meet people from all over the world. The staff is very nice except for one of the person working at the reception: nick, who is a Douche bag! he is VERY mean and condescending!!

International Student Center New York is a very nice hostel and very cheap, maybe the cheapest in Manhattan (except for Harlem). It is in a good position you can reach it fast if you need something to leave at the hostel and every essentials are very close to the hostel, too. It's also very save, they have cameras for your luggage, but you have to leave it in the lobby. If you need constant access to your stuff you can just leave it in your unlocked room, just the hostel itself is locked. At last you can say: if you need a cheap accommodation this hostel is very advisable compared to other hostels of New York!
