NEW YORK SPIRIT RETREATS HOSTEL, New York

The property is situated in prime Midtown Manhattan, 3 minutes from Penn Station and 400 m from Madison Square Garden, making it an ideal base for exploring the city on foot or via subway. Times Square, Empire State Building, Macy's, and The High Line are all within a short walk. LaGuardia Airport is 12 km away. The immediate area has numerous cafés, stores, and restaurants within 0.5 km, including Green Blend NYC and 7-Eleven. The location offers excellent subway connectivity for getting around the city quickly. The neighbourhood is well-trafficked and secure.

All rooms are individual pods designed for one person, with a lockable door and solid partitions that stop short of the ceiling. Each pod contains a single bed, air conditioning, heating, and tea/coffee facilities. Beds are approximately 180 cm (5'11") long; taller travellers may find the length insufficient for full leg extension. The pods are compact - it is necessary to open the door to have enough space to stand or dress. There is no TV and no window in the pod. The shared bathrooms are located on each floor; some floors have a women-only bathroom, others are gender-neutral. Showers and toilets are regularly cleaned but can be busy at peak times. Sound carries easily due to the open ceiling design, so noise from neighbours, foot traffic and hallway activity is common.

A free vegetarian and vegan breakfast is provided each morning for a charge of 4 USD, featuring bread, bagels, fresh fruit, homemade muffins, cereals, juice, and coffee/tea. Breakfast is served from 7:00 AM. Snacks such as bagels, fruit, and muffins are available all day and night. The property follows a strict vegetarian policy - no meat, fish, or eggs are allowed anywhere on site. Several restaurants and cafés, including Green Blend NYC, La Gusto Pizza Restaurant, and OCabanon, are within a 0.5 km walk for those seeking a different meal or a hot lunch/dinner.

Luggage storage is offered at no extra charge before check-in and after check-out.
