Don't do it to yourself.put up an extra 50 and get you a hotel.In this hostel it's like a jail style slash homeless shelter.you hear people snoring,farting loud...no class.filthy bathroom.omg I can't do it.

Its just an affordable place to sleep. Small rooms but felt safe.

Cool

No frills hostel. Was difficult to sleep due to no ceiling. But the staff were extremely nice and helpful. Staying here is only recommended if you know what a more affordable hostel entails.

Convenient Location with quick access to public transportation .

This place would be a steal if they emphasized cleanliness. The small rooms are fine for solo travelers, hearing your neighbors snore is a pain but a bit overblown by the other reviews, and the bathrooms were fine (I'd advise you to bring shower shoes). But this establishment has bedbugs and that is completely inexcusable. If the Bowery Grand Hotel just washed their damn sheets consistently, it would be the greatest value for a room in NYC. Until that day comes, I'd advise you to stay away.

This place has bed bugs and fleas. Avoid this place. Had to throw away the suitecase and all clothes I had on me. Homeless people live in the lobby area and smoke inside. No jokes, never expected to see anything like that

Great for da money

The room was just a size of a closet. Almost couldn’t fit my suitcase in it.Can’t hardly even move around. There is no ceilings. Just wires. While in your room You can hear the others on the snoring, coughing, watching videos on their cell phones. I had trouble sleeping and was woken up numerous times during the night. The lobby had at least 2 to 3 homeless people sleeping in it.The bathrooms are old and moldy. No toilet paper & paper towels.

Convenient location. Near to the subway. Affordable. The room was ok for the price.

the bathrooms were a little gross, and the room wasn't the cleanest ever (but no bugs in the bed or anything). it's kind of 50/50 whether or not the bathroom you enter has toilet paper or not. honestly the worst thing was being unable to sleep due to how thin the walls were - you can hear every time someone takes the stairs or has a conversation/coughs/sneezes in the hallway or lobby. even though i brought earplugs, i only slept for a few hours due to the sheer amount of noise. if you literally can't afford to stay anywhere better then it's acceptable, but if you have wiggle room in your budget i would say to find someplace else where you'll actually be able to sleep.

Very friendly staff. Kind and hospitable. Very affordable stay for Manhattan. Rooms need to be painted. Walls are dirty. Towel also had stains. Bathrooms need deep cleaning. With a little bit more care it could be a whole lot nicer.

Everything is dirty, no hand sanitizer in the lobby, seen people engaged in fighting in the lobby, broken the sink. Beyond a third-class hotel.

The property wasn't clean at all, and it didn't feel safe at all. The reception was full of homeless people, and the receptionist wasn't friendly and was aggressive as he didn't speak English.

The room was private and the bathroom, while shared and around the hall, was clean and the water had good pressure. The staff was excellent and available 24/7 This place is in the middle of China Town

There were bugs and holes all over the room. The bathroom was dirty and didn't have any TP or anything. The other residents were noisy and loud. Would not stay again.

Unsafe please this place needs to be cancelled I was fear for my life.

Very nice accommodation you have a good one room the space is good for only one person, you can bring family or friends, and the bathroom is good. I rate it excellent for me.

If your just looking for a bed, it works. Staff waa veey friendly. Tiny, tiny room. But its NYC and its to be expected at this price.

It was cheap and the staff were helpful but that's all I can say that was positive. Room was tiny - if i was 2 inches taller I wouldnt have been able lay flat on the bed with no window or air conditioning. You can hear what's going on in the entire hotel from your room so don't expect a good night's sleep. Went to the toilet and there were lots of tiny flies to keep me company.

It was a cold shower upon arrival, the main door is held with tape, a small staircase welcoming cockroaches leads to the “reception”. If we can talk about reception since it is a room filled with cardboard and piled up junk. The “bedroom” is actually a closet barely big enough for 1 person. The mediocre bed takes up 2/3 of the space, plus the yellow marks on the bed, the walls, the mold and the dust make you not want to spend more than a minute there. Not to mention that this small room does not include any windows. Then the shared bathrooms are repulsively dirty, reflecting repugnant hygiene. Finally when we decided to leave the premises 1 hour after our arrival the host kindly smiled at us and wished us a good day, we wonder, is he used to his customers fleeing after paying? In summary this place should no longer appear on travel platforms and remain a reception center for the homeless.

I've stayed at few hostels, the condition here is average but the location is wonderful , you're right at all the shopping and restaurant areas. Hostel could do better job cleaning the bathrooms of mold. The rooms are very small if you are a big person it might be very cramp. Overall as a woman traveling alone i felt safe.

Very thin walls, you hear neighbours and people in the hallway clearly, it’s the smallest room I have ever encountered anywhere, cockroach in room, shared bathrooms need more frequent cleaning. Attitude of the staff is the post positive to say about this place besides location and price.

Cannot turn off light outside of my room which makes my room kind of bright at night.

good for one night in a pinch. Cheap accommodation but very rough and seedy

Stay elsewhere

What can I really say? It was a fine one-night spot, but it was a real SRO situation. Nothing bad but it is what it is

This was discusting.i was not very happy with my stay.

Close cheap place to stay for the weekend. Definitely nothing fancy but the staff is nice and they try to keep it relatively clean. Close to plenty of good eating and transportation!

There was mold on the shower curtains, bugs, roaches smelled, etc. checking in and out was easy. The front desk had someone available 24/7. Those are the only 3 positives.

I slept soundly.

Dirty place
