You have to admire what they've done here. They've cut almost every corner imaginable in order to create an affordable experience that is almost hotel-like, while presumably being a nice little profit turner for the owners. However, a previous reviewer got it right when saying the rooms are more akin to prison cells than hotel rooms. They are cages with... More

Having left sorting my accomodation out for my week long stay in Manhattan to the last minute, I booked this place without reading the reviews. Fool. I went for a single room, which is about 1 and 2 thirds as wide as the single bed, and about a foot longer. There is a single cabinet with a single shelf, and... More

This is a hostel, not a hotel. It is located in Chinatown with easy access to the subway and cabs. For what you are paying for your stay, it is nice. The bathrooms are sanitary and the rooms are cleaned after your stay (not during). The staff is friendly and helpful and aim to keep their business appropriate for what... More

I stayed here for two weeks in February 2013. It was my first trip to New York in fact my first trip to America and I was coming there all the way from New Zealand and was by myself. Its not as bad as people think. The rooms are small and there is no ceiling so you can hear everybody... More

To start with, the pics they post for prospective guests are all a fake, that's right, misleading. What you basically have is a simple partition between rooms, you can hear the next guy breathing. The bathroom is filfthy beyond recognition. Even for the casual traveler or a guy just passing through, NO. The mobility to Manhattan is priceless, but not... More

This place is dirty, small, expensive for what it is and bad located. I had booked a single room for me while my friends booked a shared room. When we got there, they made my friends pay and then told me there were no room available for me. They sent me to another hostel which was still in construction and... More

This place should have chickens in and not people. The roof is made up of chicken wire. Also know that if your not Asian, you will be treated like a bunch of dirty chickens. They hate America so much that they don't even accept American money. Pretty screwed up. I would really like to know how could this place even... More

This place is terrible. I understand that when you pay this price your not gonna get a 5 star hotel. But seeing as I'm typing this looking up at my chicken wire ceiling laying in a room that is smaller than prison cells. It's just not on. I now know why there are signs all over the front desk saying... More

The private rooms werent too bad although they are small and have no aircon and the walls are thin and it can be noisy. Tv is small and only has 3 channels. 5th floor doorm rooms are a joke good luck surviving the 3rd and 4th floor smell were the homeless people live and they have a pet cat on... More
