A comfortable bed but steep stairs
Pros:

The location was good. The bed was super comfortable. Linens and toiletries provided. Staff friendly.

Cons:

The stair climb is insane. The room is litterally a closet but is a nice comfortable place to sleep.

Affreux, à fuir !!!
Pros:

Aucun mot me vient pour dire du bien de cette hébergement. C'est très sale je déconseille fortement. A fuir !!!!!!

Cons:

La saleté, les douches ainsi que les chambres sont très sales (poussières, traces douteuses, moisissures). Les douches sont une épreuve à cause de l'insalubrité. Supplément le lit inconfortable qui est sale dès l'arrivée avec des cheveux dans le lit. Et les murs sont plus que fins ont entend l'ensemble des habitants pendant la nuit jusqu'à des 4:00 du matin. Le personnel est plus que désagréable.

Buyer Beware. You get what you get for $100 a night in The City.
Pros:

The room was comfortable. Small, only enough room for the bed and a small walkway for it. Centrally located too, for the price.

Cons:

They didn't disclose the fact that there were no windows for any of the singles, nor were they explicit about the fact that all single rooms necessitate a shared bathroom. It's a bit deceiving because on the photos there's a picture of the bathroom and the room side by side, implying they're connected. They provide slides for your feet but clearly other people have used them, so if you stay be sure to bring your own slippers and washcloth as they only provide body towels.

Pros:

Small, but clean and safe. The space as a whole has AC and each room has a strong little fan. The doors have enough of a lock to wake you up if someone tried to force it, and the staff would notice. It's close to the subway and pretty central on the lower East side. Can't beat it for the price.

Cons:

Hall bathroom.

Pros:

The location and price was amazing! Smooth check in and friendly staff. The lobby area was very cozy and well kept. They provide coffee and water, shared fridge space, and a shared kitchen area. Slept safe & sound ! The shared bathrooms were as expected- they did their best to keep them nice and fresh, just know what you're getting into if you've ever stayed at hostels before!

A Safe and Comfortable Humble Hostel
Pros:

There is clear signage from the street for the Bowery Lodge. There is 24 hour staff on hand. They give clear helpful instructions upon arrival.

There is WiFi throughout the hostel.

You can request clean towels if you require. The bathrooms were regularly cleaned. Considering the rooms were all fully booked, There was always one bathroom available for use at any time of day or night. There was always hot water, even during peak period.

The unlimited 24 hour tea/coffee/water beverages are highly appreciated.


The communal seating area was homely. The walls were brightened up with pieces of art, some looked like they were drawn by family member's children which added to the simple homely style decor.

My bed was comfortable. The floor fan in the room was highly effective. I switched it off because it made the room too cold for me. When I requested another blanket, I was granted one. The room served it's purpose. I was able to sleep well (with ear plugs as I always do). I was safe and my belongings were secure. There were plenty of hooks to hang my belongings and clothes up on to.

The hostel is well located with China Town on the doorstep, and many metro stations nearby.

Cons:

The bathroom mirrors are scratched from cleaning, and so it can be difficult if you want to fix your hair/make up etc. One of the bathroom does have some moulding grout, which happens in bathrooms, but the staff still clean the bathrooms throughout the day. So cleanliness is not an issue. I also couldn't work out how to operate the shower in one of the bathrooms as it had a different method of operation.
