RoomMate Hipster is Way Cheaper Than RoomMate Grace

NYC's RoomMate Grace Hotel (formerly the Hotel QT) had her dorm-sized rooms going for $349 a night on Quikbook last time we checked. Pass.
Luckily, for those of us who happen to be down with the dorm-style hotel thing, we've got another NYC option in that lovely alterna-trendy Williamsburg/Bushwick area of Brooklyn.
And it's $29.99 a night. How do you like that, RoomMate Grace?
Take the L train (natch) down to the New York Loft Hostel on Varet St. where you can live like the kids these days and stake out a bunk bed in a big, shiny room full of cheap hip young things.
RoomMate Hipster (ha! We're so funny) offers three choices: a 14-bed female room, a 20-bed male room, or a 22-bed mixed room. And even though this is technically a hostel, the beds and floors are all as shiny and new as your fellow guests' 3G iPhones. For now.
Your 30 bucks will also get you free WiFi (bring your Macbook!) and free parking -- which would probably both run you upwards of 30 bucks at some Manhattan hotels.
There's a pool and a jacuzzi on the way, too, and you're just a quick walk from Brooklyn's Natural market if the sight of pale kids swimming in their American Apparel underthings doesn't make you lose your appetite (kidding, kidding. Kinda.)
When you make a reservation on the website, it almost looks as though there's an option to book a private room here - but we called, and there are no such private rooms offered.
But whatever: for $29.99 a night (Curbed even mentioned Craigslist was advertising a rate of $21), you can get over the lack of privacy and consider it an overnight Williamsburg people-watching safari.
