Hi,
Has anyone stayed at the Seafarers and International House at 123 E. 15th St. before?
I%26#39;m a single female travelling to NYC for a vacation and am wondering if this is a safe area to stay. Any comments, suggestions welcome and appreciated! ^_^
Thanks!

The neighborhood should be fine. You may find some better hostel info on the Lonely Planet Thorntree forum.

hi,
my girlfriend and i stayed there a few months ago and it was nice.
no frills, but clean and nice price.
the people at the front desk were very nice, and it is a christian run organization, not a sleazy hostel by any means. next time we visit ny, we will stay there again. you can share a bathroom with the floor, or have your own for a bit more.
would recommend for a no frills scenario. if this is your honeymoon, stay at the four seasons! a safe area very close to union square
hope this helps.

Hi Pete,
Just thinking of staying there with friends in December. Does the place have any bugs at all? And should women alone feel safe walking around the neigbourhood. They told me they were in Gramercy Park -- what%26#39;s that are like?

hi,
no it was very clean, no bugs, not much as far as frills, but centrally located. a good breakfast place around the corner.
for the price, you cant go wrong
sorry missed the last part of your post. it is as safe as any area in new york as far as we saw. didnt feel threatened at any point. it was also a bustling neighborhood with a lot of people around 24 - 7, so we always felt safe.
hope this helps,

Pete- 1st, thanks for the posts on the I House. I am going there in a few weeks to take 2 students to visit NYU. My question- Is it possible for a third person to sleep in one of the rooms with the double beds? We are booked for 1 double bed room w/ shower, and one single room.We can all 3 stay in one room if there is enough room for someone to sleep in a chair or even on the floor. I know we are booked for a room on the 8th floor- (i think he said 8th) Anyhoo- any info would be great! Thanks, chillykim
i think there is enough room for another person to sleep either on a cot or the floor, but it would be pretty tight.
hope this helps.

Hey all - the trip to NYC and NYU was wonderful. The weekend weather was great, and it was fun to see so many people dressed up and walking the streets in costume. The Seafarer%26#39;s was good. The rooms are tiny, just a twin bed, little desk, dresser with TV, and a sink.We also had a roll-a-way in there. Not much room for a third person but my son slept on the floor. Toilet down hall and shower down the hall. We paid the student rate of $76.00 per nite- no tax. Some of the rooms do have a bath for a little more a night (I think $20.00 more), but all in all a great place to stay cheap! We were right at Union Square, right down where many of the students hang out. Rode the subway all over the place. Just had a great time. We will stay here when we go back. Clean, cheap, great location. Thanks to everyone for all the tips! take cae, chilly
glad you had a nice trip!
