Latest Review for Tone on Lex
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
The on-line information did not really prepare us for the wardrobe size room - expected a bit more for the money. We would not stay at Lex again. However, staff were very helpful and the location is great.

Tone Hostels is located in the exclusive Upper East Side of Manhattan between Lexington and Third Avenues on 94th Street. The location makes this hostel the closest to the famous Museum Mile of New York. In this area you will find The Metropolitan Museum, The Solomon Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum and The International Center of Photography among many other attractions. Walk three blocks East and you will reach Central Park. The closest subway station is only two short blocks away, on Lexington Ave. The area is also served by many buses. Although the hostel block is very quiet, you can find many services on Lexington and Third Avenue, such as a post office, a 24 hour pharmacy and supermarket, a police station, several banks with ATM machines, and various types of food available in the neighborhood's numerous restaurants and bars.
All rooms in this cozy brownstone building have high ceilings and air-conditioned in the summer. All private rooms can sleep up to two people.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I had a really nice stay in Tone on Lex (10 nights in a 8 dorm ensuite). The employees were very kind, it was clean and very good located (upper east side). metro is 5 minutes away. you can join the evening programme (disco, pub crawl,...) or enjoy only an easy going chat with people in the evening time or at breakfast.
When I'll visit NYC next time - I will stay at Tone on Lex again! ;o)
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
