About Jazz On Columbus Circle

Situated in a great Midtown spot, just blocks from the dining and entertainment of Columbus Circle, Jazz On Columbus Circle offers clean and comfortable budget accommodation to those looking to be in the centre of the action.

The rooms on each floor have a different theme, based on the history of the city. Accommodation is mainly in shared four or six person dorms. Each room has its own bathroom and very welcome air conditioning.

Staff at Jazz On Columbus Circle are happy to assist guests by providing tourist information and a booking service (fee). A communal lounge offers cable TV and the chance to meet fellow travellers.

A simple light breakfast is served every morning, free of charge. There are also vending machines for drinks and snacks, and of course one of the world’s gastronomic capitals lies right outside the doors.

The hostel is right in Midtown Manhattan. Times Square is a 10-minute walk south and Fifth Avenue just three blocks east.

Positive Reviews

Terrific location in Midtown Manhattan

Guests couldn’t have been any happier with the location of the hostel. It’s fair to say it was the main reason most booked here, and they were certainly not disappointed. They loved being so close to the heart of New York, with many mentioning the proximity of Times Square and Central Park as being especially welcome.

Friendly and helpful staff

The hostel’s staff were said to be exceptionally friendly and helpful when dealing with their guests. In addition, guests mentioned that they didn’t just do their job, but were truly engaged and always up for a laugh.

Excellent security

Guests were very satisfied that their security during their stay was taken seriously. They mentioned that dorm rooms required keycard access and that the reception staff kept a close eye on who was coming and going.

Negative Reviews

Problems with the heating

Guests staying in the winter months reported problems with the heating. Many said that the dorms were on the cold side, making comfortable sleep difficult. Also, it was mentioned that the heating system was very loud, adding to the general lack of comfort at this time.

Limited communal areas

There was a lot of disappointment about the lack of communal areas. Guests had been hoping to have a social experience, where they could meet up with other travellers, perhaps over a drink, and share stories. In the end, guests mentioned that the hostel did not really have the communal areas to allow for this.

Disappointing breakfast

Guests were not impressed with the free breakfast offered by the hostel, saying it was little more than a hot drink and some toast – certainly not enough to fuel them up for a busy day in the city.
