Probably the best location and best price for a budget traveller. I felt like I was able to experience New York to its fullest potential, and was able to actually afford it! Modest room and amenities, but so accessible and close to everything (Central Park is literally outside your door). Friendly staff, clean room/bathroom, a diverse mix of guests. Would stay again.

This is a tiny room “hotel” with shared bathrooms and showers. Only book if you’re on a budget. This is not a typical hotel with amenities. Just a small room to lay your head for the night and bathrooms that smell like Penn Station. This is an honest and irrefutable review.

Staff is nice and coming back late at night I felt welcomed and safe!! I felt safe in my room as well. Giving 4 stars just since the place maybe wasn’t the most sanitary which is a given. Such as stains on sheets, bathrooms not being cleaned, and the major leak that was covered half the bathroom floor lol. I’d say again though!

The room was clean, but had scuffing all over the floor. The bathrooms were clean at night, but not in the morning or at mid day. They were all out of toilet paper until are at least after 12pm. This was almost like a youth hostile.

The rooms are small but we didn't need much room since we were only there to sleep, change, and shower. So didn't mind sharing bathrooms with others, either. The floors could've been cleaner cuz there was hair on the floors, but other than that I would definitely stay there again if I ever go to new york again. Everything is so close by!! Central Park, Time Square, shopping and a variety of food carts to choose from!! The location is excellent, and so is the price!!

They do a great service by providing budget accommodation in NY. Staff was super helpful and responsive to my requests. Convenient location, safe area. A previous review mentioned the $10 daily fee that should have been added up front. They said they’d notified their partners so maybe an oversight by Expedia. The mini store in the pics is not there but plenty of places within a block to buy things.

Basic dorm accommodations.

Good location and cool ac in private room. It is basically an old dorm room. I did like having access to the gym facilities. Only 1 towel was provided. No daily cleaning offered.
