The breakfast was passable but the staff person didn’t speak English so it was difficult to find out what was available. We didn’t realize we could have eggs so we had pastry.

Great little budget hotel and perfect to be able to have bunk beds so we could each get a really good sleep. Small room but with an unexpected clear view of Empire State Building from both the room and from the en suite. Great shower and water pressure. Friendly staff. Rooms cleaned every day. Central location and really beautiful rooftop bar. We absolutely loved it. And a great price too. The interior corridors could look a bit brighter. But overall a really great place to base ourselves to see Manhattan . Nice easy going area too

The location is fantastic, near Grand Central. Easy to get anywhere. The POD bunk beds were perfect for my daughter & I, basically just slept there. Shower pressure was extremely too hard, for power for relaxing shower. I❤️NY

Check-in and check-out were efficient and the staff with polite and professional. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, there was adequate water pressure and hot water for showers, the towels were large and thick. The price was very reasonable. There were a Starbucks and a Shake Shack within easy walking distance for coffee and a quick bite. The local corner store was not all that good in terms of food and snacks sold.
