When we walked into the International Student Center, a friendly visitor from Australia began raving about the accommodations. Well what better an introduction could one get?
The rooms in this four-floor brownstone are large by hostel standards but outfitted with the usual wooden bunks. The three 10-bedded dorms are co-ed and two dorms with eight beds each provide female-only accommodations.
The basement lounge is quite expansive. A large-screen TV is abutted by bookshelves filled with National Geographic magazines and books. The guest kitchen is just as immense with a large dining table that captures the spirit of community. Light from the simple garden outside brightens up the entire room.
The International Center is adjacent to Central Park. A no-visitor policy keeps accommodations safe, but the youthful energy that abounds—and an age limit of 35—keep things lively.
