Friendly staff, quiet serene atmosphere, clean rooms and bathrooms, adequately comfortable beds with newly laundered linens, what more could you ask for? Perfectly located near grocery stores, Subways and Starbucks and Panera. We stayed from Fri-Sunday and they kept our luggage for us until we were done exploring the city. We will be back!

Stayed here in 2009 but just going back retrospectively and reviewing places i have visited. For new york, manhattan island, this hotel offers excellent value. Great location, quiet room, comfortable bed and and good strong shower pressure. For the price i cannot think you will find better value in NYC

Have stayed here more times than we can count. That said, however, this time both the female (can't mention names), as well as the male attendant at the desk were brusque and downright unfriendly. Both, during our stay, made rude comments to us, and we left because of this. We felt as though we were nearly 'family' by now (so... More

My sister and I stayed here for several nights before leaving for Turkey. The room was simple and very clean and comfortable. It couldn't be more convenient and we were happy that we were in a lutheran establishment because we forgot to remove our room key from the door! Obviously the good Lord was watching over us! .25 coffee is... More

Good: - Price! - Great location right at Union Square. - Rooms are clean and have okay views out of the windows. - facilities are all clean - coffee (25 cent) in the lobby - helpful... More

If you need a clean, secure place to lay your head for under $100 in downtown Manhattan, this is it. For that price, you get a humble lodging - a room with a singe bed, a desk, a tv and a sink, with a shared toilet and shower in the hall, brilliantly located right off Union Square. That was all...

Seafarers has a lot to offer its guests. It is right near Union Square where they hold the famous Farmers Markets on Mon, Wed, Fri & Sat, and a huge variety of other stores, restaurants and cafes in the area. Walking distance to Greenwich Village, East Village, Flatiron Building, and Macy's. Across the street is Irving Plaza where some great... More

This hotel (kind of backpackers) has all advantages for people wanting to stay for a limited budget in NYC. Situation is very good and not far from walking distance to a subway which allows you to easily travel in NYC. Room are basic, with a TV and air con but clean (and this is all we were really expecting)! We... More

I first stayed at the Seafarers & International House in 2010 and again in July 2012. During my most recent visit I shared a room with my brother and we stayed for four days and three nights. The management recently renovated the lobby and now it has a more modern feel to it. Although the guest house does not offer... More
