Categories

Cleanliness
4.5
Mixed-to-negative: multiple guests reported dirty or yellowed bedding, visible stains and comments like 'not clean'; a few reviews did say rooms appeared clean, but overall cleanliness is a clear pain point.
Service
9.4
Generally strong: several reviews praise friendly, helpful staff and smooth check‑in/check‑out; staff is a noticeable positive that offsets other issues for many guests.
Location
9.8
Consistently praised: excellent central location near Canal Street, Little Italy and multiple subway stations; convenient for sightseeing despite some noise and a rougher neighborhood feel.
Room Quality
8.1
Mixed: rooms are often small and sometimes claustrophobic for groups, but many guests found beds comfortable, showers nice and rooms adequately clean/functional; some wear and tight layouts noted.
Amenities
7.2
Moderate: basic amenities present (modern key system, earplugs provided), but amenities like breakfast are minimal and there is some construction/noise affecting the experience.
Value for Money
5.2
Negative: multiple complaints about high price for the small, basic rooms (examples of feeling overcharged or poor price/quality), leading to low perceived value.
Food and Beverage
6
Below average: breakfast described repeatedly as minimal or disappointing (some positive mentions exist), inconsistent offering and no tea noted by one guest.
Overall Experience
9
Generally positive for the right guest: many would return and highlight location, staff and comfort as strong positives, though issues like noise, small rooms and cleanliness temper the experience.

Great location and clean rooms with comfy beds!
Pros:

Very clean and right in the area we wanted to be. Street noise was loud but they provided earplugs which we loved. Breakfast was very basic (toast/bagels) but it was nice to have that option. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was big for NYC. We actually liked that they didn’t provide daily housekeeping because we don’t typically want or need that. The location was great…we walked to little Italy!!

Cons:

Noisy location but that’s not their issue to deal with.

Bien, pero andá sabiendo inglés.
Pros:

Si, apretado como todo NYC, así que biren

Cons:

No hablaban ni media palabra del español. Se quedaron sin edulcorante y no había soluciones para eso. El horario de atención del personal en mesa de entrada era un poco acotado.

Small minimalist hotel near to my office that gets the job done with no frills.
Pros:

Location is great, checkin is easy.

Cons:

Wifi was quite unreliable. Fresh sheets at some point in my weeklong stay would have been nice.
