Welcome to The Glenwood Hostel
One of the only hostels that offers only private rooms. Why stay at a hostel
where you share your sleeping space, when you could have your own room,
and privacy? You''ll find
clean, safe, friendly, comfortable accommodations right in the heart of
Brooklyn at The Glenwood Hostel. We are a budget, no-frills alternative to
high priced city hostels.
The Glenwood Hostel, conveniently located in historic Williamsburgh, is the
preferred destination for smart travelers. It''s perfect for students and
anyone on a tight budget. And it''''s close to everything&? great shopping,
restaurants, clubs, art galleries, sporting events, and it''''s just minutes to
major airports and to Manhattan. With rates as low as $33.00 per night per
person for a single, you can spend less on lodging and more on everything
New York has to offer, from Broadway and Midtown to Little Italy,
Chinatown, and some of the best stores in the world.
In general, travelers are forced to choose between two types of
accommodations: inexpensive dormitory beds in hostels where you have no
privacy whatsoever, and expensive hotel rooms where you pay a fortune
for a room that you barely use and need only for sleeping. We "bridge" the
two. We offer single rooms that are small (just large enough to sleep in),
simple, and the ceilings are open and consist of open "latticework." While
there is visual privacy in your room, sound does travel across the entire floor
of rooms, so you can hear people around you. Our hostel is in the city next
to the train, so outside noise does filter in. We do supply earplugs. While you
are not getting total luxury, you do get physical privacy, i.e. your own
room, with a lock on it, and no sharing with strangers. And you get that
privacy at a price that simply cannot be beat! WE DO NOT HAVE REGULAR
DORM ROOMS.
See what a great city has to offer at a great little budget hostel that''s right
around the corner. Visit The Glenwood Hostel, and savor it all! |
can't beat it for the price!
Great place for cheap! The rooms and bathrooms were clean. The staff was very friendly and being just 1 subway stop into Brooklyn from Mahattan it was in a very convenient spot for me to not have to trek as a tourist. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to experience New York City, but not wanting to pay and arm and a leg on a hotel room!
