A relaxful place to stay when you are not in the NYChaos. Take a breathe. A large loft readapted with 8 rooms, 2 restroom, common spaces. Very clean, light colours and IKEA-style (tables 'Numerar'... parquet... soft orange chaise-longues...) so you can feel literally at home. Good music (chillout softrock) h24 from a great dish TV. But you have to gain... More

I have been in NewYork many times before, and I have always stayed at hotel. But this time the economy was not to a hotel. So I chose Urban Oasis Hostel, and that was so good. The service is so great and helpful, and the common areas are big and clean. I had my own room, with a double bed.... More

New York accommodation is expensive. Period. So why pay for an expensive hotel room when you will be spending most of your time elsewhere anyway? With this logic and needing to be proximal to the Graduate Centre at CUNY for a conference I decided to take the plunge: hostel-living once again at age 40. This is no ordinary hostel and... More

I stayed here for a few days by myself, and a few weeks later when I returned with my girlfriend. We both loved the place! Both rooms I had were exceptionally clean, as were the bathrooms and common rooms on each floor. I't didn't have a "noisy hostel" vibe about it either which was nice The kitchen space is ample...

So before coming to NY for the first time I did a lot of research into places to stay - I found a lot of hostels for quite high prices (comparing to Europe) with ok ratings despite comments on rats and cockroaches and other vermin. I almost gave up, and then I found Urban Oasis. This is the most perfect... More

Urban Oasis is the perfect position for NYC. Walking distance to so many things, and quick subway rides to everything else. The place is clean and well run, and the staff are lovely. They even let you know about the credit card surcharge and suggest you pop to the ATM over the next few days to pay in cash, and... More

The hostel was excellent, and the staff was A+ :) Our room was a little bit noisy, but not so disturbing. (Our room was on the 9. floor) There were 6 rooms and 2 shared bath-rooms on the floor. (But always had enough time to prep.) I highly recommend this lovely place to everyone!

I stayed here with my boyfriend in early September for 5 nights. It was supposed to be six nights but our flight was delayed and we therefore missed 11pm checkin. It was annoying but clearly stated and we had no problem calling the hostel and arranging what to do. They suggested a nearby hotel and said we could check in... More
