calidad-precio-ubicación aceptable...
Pros:

Ubicación muy buena, todos los metros paran a relativamente a pocos metros. La naranja en Grand St está muy cerca.
Toallas limpias todos los días, y bien limpias, papel higiénico sin pedirlo abundante.

Cons:

En habitación cuádruple con baño propio: Limpieza de ducha como moho por todos lados, no había tapadera del vater, solo un punto de luz en el baño, te haces luz en el propio espejo, puesto que está detrás de uno. Sólo un enchufe en habitación y un punto escaso de luz, que la mitad de la habitación es sombra. Techo con lamas colgando, espacio muy muy escaso para subir a las literas.
La entrada echa un poco para atrás, pero los dueños amables.

Pros:

Vraiment très bien situé, proche des ponts et du métro, Little Italy est à 5 m à pied, et le sud de Manhattan à 20/25 minutes.
Le rapport qualité prix est parfait juste pour dormir, c'était le but recherché.

Cons:

Un peu sommaire quand même. C'était prévu, mais les chambres sont minis et ça ne sentait pas très.
Toilette et sdb en dehors de la chambre, c'est ok, mais il vaut mieux bien lire l'offre.
Les rideaux de douche seraient à changer...

jako samo miejsce do spania to jest ok, łazienki wspólne w miarę czyste, ściany cienkie więc słychać sąsiadów, ale patrz
Pros:

cena, lokalizacja

Cons:

rozmiar pokoju - łóżko było duże ale miejsca było na szerokość drzwi. jeśli ktoś ma więcej niż 1,75m wzrostu to nie zmieści się w tym pokoju

Pros:

Lokalizacja rewelacja. 15 minut spacerkiem do mostu brooklinskiego. Do metra rzut beretem i caly Nowy Jork twój. Gospodarz serwował kawe, owoce, herbate. Wielki minus za brak klimy.

Cons:

Brak klimy

None English to Chinese and back communication issues with Ping
Pros:

Hello - I arrive on July 3, 2026 at 5:30 AM ish - had to call number on Door to get in. The property contact a Mr. Jason who came over to check me in and let me in. The delays and troubles with the Airline put me at the property arriving NYC at that time. I got check in and Jason was super nice and entered my room around 6AM. I requested from him if someone could knock on my door around 11:00 AM to wake me up as it had been a hard travel with no sleep in like 24 Hours. I had a 12 Noon ticket for Lady Liberty and needed to catch the ferry. A nice white hair lady I met when I left right at 11:20 AM. I stated when I was leaving that I had this ticket and would be back that afternoon. She told me no problem and to leave the bags in my room which I did after say about 4 hours of sleep. I left and did the tour and came back around 5 PM ish. I met her again and she told me to take my time and I told her about my Empire State Building tour at 9PM - then I went to shower a d change and by that time it was almost close to 8 PM and raining outside. First time in your city and kinda panic mood to get to Empire. The lady was not around so I went to the front desk and asked about should I leave my bags in my room or should I bring them up to the front for bag storage? I spoke with a Mr Ping who couldn’t understand me and I did not speak Chinese. After more conversation getting no where I stated I leave the bags in my room and left for my tour. He said $5 Dollars but that was all he communicated. He didn’t understand me at all. Due to the time crunch and it raining - I gestured and said after he dint understand me again not I him, ok I just the bags in my room and then I left, telling him I
Would be back before midnight. I got back right before Midnight on July 3rd and was almost accosted my Ping asking me where my room key was? I had a small backpack full of stuff and said I had it and will be leaving ASAP. Ping followed me to my door and stood there.

Malgré l’emplacement ça ne vaut pas son prix du tout
Pros:

L’emplacement et le prix

Cons:

Tout le reste. L’hygiène des salles de bain et de la chambre déplorable. Le voisinage bruyant, pas insonorisé. Pas de fenêtre. Le matelas inexistant.

Avoid this "hotel", you WILL regret staying here
Pros:

The hotel is on the Bowery where is meets Canal Street, which is quite a cool location.

Cons:

Everything else:
- my tiny, dark, windowless room was infested with cockroaches and there was evidence of mice
- there is no 24hr reception, so you're on your own if bugs/mice wake you up in the night
- when I reported having squished a cockroach during the night, I was given a cleaning spray to clean it up myself
- on my 3rd night, I was looking for another cockroach that had woken me up and I found a syringe and (I suspect) drugs under my bed
- my room and the bathrooms had not been cleaned for a long time
- food eaten and mouse droppings in my room
- having to leave the hotel at 2.30pm and walk the streets to escape the dirt, syringe, drugs and cockroaches
- hotel staff complaining that I had moved my bed after I reported the syringe
- hotel staff laughing off issues when reported
- hotel management refusing to refund my stay because I didn't report these issues straight away (I did). I eventually got 3 of 4 nights refunded
- hotel management then refusing to refund my last night because I didn't stay - would you?!

Avoid this hotel at all costs, you will regret staying here.

I stayed in June 2026 during the World Cup. I booked this hotel because it was very cheap and would just be a place to crash. Please do not make the same mistake - you will get no sleep, it will be hazardous to your health. I cannot stress this enough: you will absolutely hate it.

Opholdet var godt, personalet var venligt, og beliggenheden var fantastisk. Der er dog behov for nog
Pros:

Fremragende beliggenhed, centralt beliggende med nem adgang til offentlig transport og byvandringer. Mange restauranter i nærheden. God sikkerhed med døgnovervågning.

Cons:

Badeværelset og toilettet trænger til renovering: brusehovedet og eventuelle mugpletter på silikonen skal rengøres. Gardinerne i soveværelset skal udskiftes; brug ikke tæpper mere.
