International Students Residence, located at 341 Broadway in the heart of New York City, presents itself as a practical and affordable lodging option primarily suited for travelers seeking convenience without luxury. With a moderate rating of 3.1, this residence stands out for its strategic proximity to the Marcy Avenue subway station, offering guests effortless access to the city's vibrant neighborhoods, historic commercial buildings, and cultural events such as the Tribeca Film Festival.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful design of the rooms, which prioritize functionality and cleanliness. The bathrooms receive generally positive remarks for their upkeep, although occasional lapses suggest room for improvement in maintenance. While walls do not extend fully to ceilings—permitting some sound to travel between rooms—the building itself is well insulated against the external noise of the subway lines above, ensuring a relatively quiet interior environment despite its urban setting.
The residence offers essential amenities like free Wi-Fi, on-site parking, air conditioning, and a smoke-free environment, catering to fundamental traveler needs. Its restaurant complements the stay, although the absence of a fitness center and pool positions the property as a no-frills choice rather than a full-service hotel.
Service experiences at International Students Residence appear mixed. Some guests report encounters with less-than-welcoming staff and occasional administrative mishaps, such as room allocation errors. Nevertheless, the value proposition remains attractive for those prioritizing budget and location over upscale service or luxury comforts.
In reflecting on International Students Residence, it emerges as a commendable option for students, backpackers, and visitors seeking a clean, well-maintained base from which to explore New York City. The tradeoff involves accepting a modest level of noise, sparse luxury, and occasional service bumps. Its position adjacent to a subway hub is both its greatest asset and a minor drawback, balanced deftly by soundproofing inside.
Ultimately, International Students Residence embodies pragmatic urban accommodation: functional, accessible, and budget-conscious. For travelers who embrace the city’s rhythm and atmosphere without demanding opulence, it offers a fitting doorstep into the dynamic life of New York.

Good value ! What's really cool there is that it's just next to the underground station (Marcy Av), but it's also the only downside about this place : It's literally under the subway line. However, inside the building, it is perfectly isolated from the outside noise. The bathroom was very clean, and the rooms are actually well designed. You can leave your stuff in the room since there are only 2 beds in the rooms AND there's a key to enter. Overall great bang for the buck, I would recommend it hands down.
Stayed here back in 2018 was cheap clean not very quiet but it's a hostel basically so not bad at all
Stayed here four night. Restrooms were relatively clean 4/5. On the last night noticed smears on vanity mirror in restroom. Should be clean more frequently. Most people will not mind nearby train noises, I didn't. The neighbor noises are more annoying but usually they quiet down after a while. The walls don't reach the ceiling so noises can be heard between rooms. I was in a two-bedroom room. Just enough extra space for luggage. You won't want to stay inside, if not to chill or sleep. This hostel didn't have organized events or tours like others do.
The place is very nice and we'll maintained. The staff can seem rather snobbish and aren't always the most friendly. I booked a single room and was given the key and I lugged my 100 pounds of luggage up 3 flights of stairs only to find a man sleeping in my single room. Back down the stairs I went and luckily the gave me another room on the second floor, but I can't fathom how you don't know someone is asleep in one if your "clean" rooms.
Neighborhood known for historic commercial buildings, cool boutiques & the Tribeca Film Festival.
