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.

Comfortable and convenient
Pros:

Located within convenient walking distance from the Grand Subway station, this place is one floor up via stairs (no elevator) and operated by a Malaysian Chinese guy from Selayang, KL. Comfortable single room with queen-sized bed (bunk beds also available) and 4 shared bathrooms with toilets (comfortable size even for six-footers).
Free flow of water, coffee and tea - nothing to complain about at this price point.

Cons:

Not convenient for wheelchair users of if you have trouble with stairs
