In the heart of Manhattan we created a calm, cozy and intimate atmosphere where after a tiring day of traveling or sightseeing you can relax and really feel at home.
Most of our rooms are spacious by New York standards and have huge loft-style windows looking onto the Empire State Building (twin rooms) or historic buildings of 5th Avenue and 31st Street (double rooms). However, if you are on a tight budget, and do not care about having a view, we also offer smaller rooms with no views for a cheaper price (economy and budget double rooms). See detailed rooms description below.
Superbly located on 31st street at 5th Avenue in the center of Manhattan, the hostel is close to all public transportation (trains 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, A, C, E, N, R, Q, W; buses M2, M3, M6, M7), right in the middle of exquisite New York shopping, and within walking distance to many of the sights. Our immediate neighborhood is full of shops, cheap eateries, restaurants, cafes, and you'll have easy access to the best nightlife spots as well.
Urban Oasis is a small and homely hostel with a limited number of rooms and guests so if you want a quiet place, personal attention and good accommodation at a reasonable price, book with us.

We do not accept kids under the age of 16 or New York residents. Valid photo ID required upon check in.
