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.

This was an acceptable budget-friendly option for one night's stay. Ear-plugs/ear-buds are very helpful to block out the old AC noise. I don't understand previous comments that the bathrooms are not secure. Yes, guests use a swipe card to enter the bathroom/shower but once you are in that single room, the door can be locked. No-one else can enter. It was a terrific location. You get what you pay for. This is a budget option, but it was fine for me.

I was unexpectedly charged an additional US $40 even though I had already paid for my full trip back in June. This really shocked me and seriously affected my budget for the four days I spent in NYC. The room wasn’t very clean — the floor and under the bed had visible dirt. However, the staff were very pleasant, especially the security team. I also reported that the safe wasn’t working; the front desk said maintenance would check it, but no one ever came. Thankfully, the room’s key lock system felt secure, so I still felt safe staying there. The bathrooms are shared, and while some were messy at times, it seemed to be because of inconsiderate guests. The cleaning staff were constantly working to keep them tidy. The facilities themselves are good. I’d recommend bringing disinfectant spray and wipes — I brought mine and used them in the room and before/after using the bathrooms and showers. Overall, I gave a low rating mainly because of the unexpected US $40 charge.

i was a member of the gym for a long time and they did a good job keeping it up. The hotel/hostel side, however, is a different thing. Things ripped off walls in shower stall, a large panel next to my bed off of the wall and just propped up against said wall. It I had my drill and a couple screws I'd reattach if for them. But I don't travel with my drill. I want to love this place, but the deferred maintenance is terrible.

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.

Poor communication. My flight was delayed until the next day. Despite many attempts to let them know and request to hold the reservation, it took them more than 24 hours to get back to me. I tried phone (many times), Hotel.com messaging and Hotel.com help desk (where they finally replied after > 24 hours). I don't need this kind of stress on top of the missed flight.
