New York

Any visitor to New York will not fail to be 'wowed' by the buzz, excitement and sheer splendour of being in the 'city that never sleeps!' New York offers something for students from every subject discipline as well providing the opportunity to visit some of the most famous sights in the world. The city that has offered hope and freedom for so many now offers a cultural diversity that gives the city strength and independence. A memorable experience guaranteed!

The ever popular Y's provide clean and safe accommodation and great value for money. Both of these properties benefit from great locations - the former is positioned on Manhattan's fashionable East Side and the latter is on the Upper West Side, close to Central Park. The twin bedded rooms are simple but comfortable and all come with colour TV and air conditioning. Each centre has a coffee shop/snack bar, souvenir shop and a travel desk. Students can also use the leisure centre and swimming pool (prebooking required). Without doubt these are the best budget hostels in New York.

A very welcome addition to our programme in 2008, the Village Inn has recently opened after a complete renovation. In the heart of the East Village the hippest part of Manhattan, The Village Inn is a totally renovated 4 storey building (no elevator) building that can accommodate students in rooms of up to 6 people, all with private facilities. Famous “two thumbs up” free continental breakfast, an assortment of bagels, muffins, fruits, cereal, coffee, milk and orange juice.
