The Brooklyn Riviera Hostel

I had a positive stay here, especially due to the great location (4 stars). It's a convenient base for exploring Brooklyn. Both the rooms and the service were exactly what I expected for a reliable hostel stay, earning a solid 3 stars each.

Such great experience! Talib is a great host and very welcoming in your first day, he offers facilities as basic breakfast (bread, coffe) I stayed a few nights

Highly recommended!!!! 🙂 I stayed only one night at this hostel. I’ve traveled many countries with the hostel but this is one of the best! Affordable price is for travelers to travel cheap by its owner Talib, he’s nice and he wakes up early to clean up everything and prepare for the guests breakfast. I stayed at ten girls bunk bed but I had everything I need, I checked in quite late but he welcomed me. The guests were respectful and friendly, I made one good Polish friend here. Everything’s clean and comfy. No complains! Coffee and breakfast were for free. I can’t believe they stay this price. I even asked the owner to raise the price up, it’s the cheapest in New York for sure. I would love to use this hostel again in the future 🙂 thank you Talib!

Thalib and Jimmy were great hosts, super relaxed place, if you wanna know what Brooklyn heart is like then this is it, definitely will come back one day.

Bed bugs in my room, the hostel was dirty in general. Do not stay here for the cheap price, better spending few dollars more elsewhere and avoiding having bed bugs following you during the rest of your trip.

I had a great time there. Tali is super friendly and makes you feel welcome from the beginning. The building is kind of old but if you are backpacking that´s no problem at all. I watched a couple of movies in the living room.

The Brooklyn Riviera Hostel is a well situated (close to public transport and many good restaurants), comfy and very affordable hostel with a lot of character. Talib is a courteous host and was very prompt with all questions and concerns. Would strongly recommend!
