Location was great with a lively street
Lots of shops and places to eat
Staff was friendly
Close to main subway access
Room was small but hey it’s a room.

Shower did leak but I didn’t have to use my rain app to fall asleep.
No amenities but for the price it does the job

Know before you go!
Pros:

The front desk wants you to pay for three nights in cash. Three nights minimum they say but that’s before even seeing the rooms! If you are unhappy with the rooms beware since you have paid in advance you may struggle to get a refund of your cash
I had to stay two nights or I’d lose my two nights cash for stay but got refunded for one night only and went somewhere better. It’s loud, smelly and the beds are like better than jail…but super uncomfortable regardless

Old and needs a good deep clean.
Pros:

No elevator (which was fine for me but should be taken into consideration by others), had to run the sink water simultaneously along with the shower water for 5 minutes to get a hot shower, beds well made but only a light weight old blanket, sheets very low quality, carpets, molding, shower corners dirty. Pros: great price price, private bathroom/shower, sunlight blackout shutters are great, no street noise. at night. Great location! Close to Washington Square Park.

Pros:

The hotel is generally unkept and had a very damp mouldy smell at the bottom of the stairs. Our room was neat but I found a few stray hairs so felt like it wasn’t cleaned well. The shower had mould or atleast stained grouting and due to the floor we were on, I couldn’t open a window. There’s no fan in the bathroom so I always felt like it was a very stuffy room. The aircon looked to me as if it also had mould inside. It was black and spotty so either dust or mould, which made me uncomfortable given I’m unable to air the room. The pillows were very hard and some misshapen. The beds are very firm and flat. The staff here are ok.

Pros:

the hotel is right near colleges and above a nice pizza/bagel/deli and near Astor place and union square subway stations. I would 100% stay here again - great price compared to the rest of manhattan for small quaint quarters. It was a little noisy on the 1st floor from the street but nothing I haven't experienced at more luxurious hotels. I felt safe and slept well and the location was excellent. On Bowery which was a nice street when I walked south to downtown / seaport ~45 mins and 2 blocks from broadway which I walked ~45 mins to Times Square. Ubers weren't too pricey and trains were super convenient.

it’s a simple, comfortable place in NYC
Pros:

I had an exceptional experience during my stay last week, especially considering the price. This is not a luxury hotel—it’s a simple, comfortable place to rest while enjoying New York City.

The location is excellent: the subway is literally right in front of the hotel, and there are restaurants and a deli on the ground floor. The area is lively, with plenty of nightlife nearby, and it’s within walking distance to SoHo, the piers, Chinatown, and more. Public transportation access (bus and subway) is right at the doorstep, which made getting around the city very easy.

What I really appreciated is that if you arrive early, you can leave your luggage at the hotel, and the same goes for when you check out. That added a lot of convenience. Overall, I loved my stay and would definitely return. For me, this place is a hidden gem in NYC—good, affordable, and comfortable.
