Hostels on short notice

[Lindsey]

I'm looking around for a hostel to stay in at short notice, and most decent places seem totally full for as much as two months ahead at a time. Central Park Hostel looks pretty clean, has good reviews on Travel Advisor, and has nearly every type of accommodation open for the first two weeks in January.

However if I decide to visit in mid June, or early September, will availability short notice be drastically different? I can imagine that January isn't a huge tourist season in New York, but what months would I have the most trouble booking during?

Thanks in advance! :)

Try Jazz Hostels (http://www.jazzhostels.com/), they have 5 hostels in New York City so might have availability on short notice. Also check out tfthostels.com (http://www.tfthostels.com/) where you can search many hostel websites for availability at the same time.

Oh, wow that second link is a total godsend, it's gonna save me so much time. :D

And thanks for the link to Jazz too, I hadn't found that one yet! Thanks for replying.

No problem... I don't think you'll have trouble finding a dorm bed. There are many hostels in NYC.

Have a good trip...
