How to find the best hostels in New York<\/h2>\n

Hostels in New York are forced to operate under hotel laws which means there are less options than in other cities. Hostelworld has lobbied for this change<\/a> and we’re on a mission to bring more hostels to New York. The good news is that hostels in New York are great quality and have fantastic amenities.<\/p>\n

Manhattan is the best option if you want to stay somewhere close to the key tourist attractions. Check out the best hostels in the trendy Flatiron and Chelsea districts.
