you might try the ymca there are a few in manhattan, cheapest rate is 85.00 nerar the U.N. I think. there is one in wiliamsburg I believe for 43.00 a night. go online it will tell you accurate pricing. very communal though have to share facilities with other guests but have clean private rooms with a tv. hope this helps…Pat

Jazz on Lenox hostel, 104 West 128 Street (Harlem), +1.212.222.5773. A few blocks away from the subway. Prices $28 +tax and up. Stayed there 1 night, was ok. Free wifi. Brooklyn would probably be nicer though…

thank you all for your help.
someone gave me this address and it looks great. though i still do not know where it is located. keep it yourself just in case someone asks you again :)

http://ilovedormitory.com/dormitories.php

The site is not graphically ok though you could see how the rooms like anyway.
It’s a Japanese owned domitory and it looks clean and great for woman. Rooms, shower room, toilet are separated man and woman.

For domitory $29
For single bed $35

email them and ask further if she wants.

Hi, Lourdes,

It’s at 136st. in NYC.
It should be good for your friend.

Hi Lourdes,

Youme’s right – probably good for your friend, with the euro & all -, though it might be “a little bit far” from the city (since 136st is in upper-Harlem).
Then again, have you ever heard about www.couchsurfing.com ?(you can meet & sleep on people’s couches for free).

Later, Tanguy.

136th st is not far, just 10-15 minutes by subway from midtown….
