This is a good place to go in new york. All is clean in the rooms. The staff is very friendly, but for me there is a bad thing: the breakfast is very bad, only bad food, very sweet.
So if we except the breafeast, I say The New York Loft Hostel is a good place, cheaper for New York.

Huge breakfasts, clean linens and bathrooms, safe area (even at night), close to the sub (it takes 15-20 minutes to get to Manhattan).
Good ratio quality/price (I want in the middle of summer holidays). I would recommended it.

This was a very nice stay in this hostel, the team is very natural, the room was top (clean, well decorated...), breakfast and barbecue very provided and delicious, the vicinity of the hostel very pleasant (bars and restaurants and super atmosphere), finally a place that I recommend to all!

It is a place that has a very good quality/price ratio, it is clean, wide and they are welcoming. Breakfast is free and the Wednesday, Friday and Sunday night free barbecue. The bathrooms are the rooms inside.
It is a 15 min in metro New York and really close to metro, good neighbourhood frequent even in the evening...
However must be rent $ 2 towels and can buy a cadena to close quasier mini storage business.

This a very good place, clean and staff very helpful. If you want a good and cheap hostel to stay in, choose this one. Dorms have private bathrooms

I recommend you this address. The hostel is located in Brooklyn, therefore the prices are lower than Manathan. There is a 300 m subway station, in 15 minutes you are in the centre of New York. The decoration of the hostel is very nice, the doors of the rooms and walls are decorated with stickers way Andy Warhol. Breakfast is available (coffee / tea / pancake / cereals / fruit). The House is well held. You will find shops nearby: a mean surface; and very close to the hostel a friendly food store "Brooklyn Naturals" or you will find all necessary. Only small caveats: the kitchen is too small to accommodate all backpackers. better to avoid the rooms of the DRC (particularly the dormitory girl on the home row) because they are relatively noisy. To summarize: a very good report quality / price.
