A Week there, 1st time in NYC sdo knew no better, certainly learnt from the experience. Though we had no problems, except the lock on our door was faulty and reported to the staff on the 1st day, nothing done for the week we were there, i would not recommend this place for anyone expecting anything short of a place...

This "hotel" was a worst place I have ever been to. Thank god we only booked 2 nights from our weeks holiday. Room was really filthy, unsafe in many ways, the bed was too small for 2 and linens were disgusting. Some really strange people hang in the hallways and in the night time somebody was trying to get in... More

Myself and 3 friends stayed here on our first trip to NYC last year. As students, we wanted something fairly cheap, and since we were only there for the weekend, did not need luxury. It was definitely not the nicest or fanciest place I have stayed but it worked for us. Room: our room had two double beds and we... More

This is my 1st budget hotel experience and the worst of its kind in NYC! I thought ALL budget hotels in NY were like it and glad tried 2 others recently (Look for Belnord Hotel and Grant Hotel) so now I could really make a comparison. For the price, you get what you pay for!! BUT in the 2 other... More

How WRONG we were. The photos they show are not what you get. On the outside the "hotel" looks lovely but once you get... More

The owner, Fitos Neophytou, is being sued by the Dept of Housing for "illeaglly converting the SRO to a hotel and advertising it". His buildings are rife with housing code violations, many pertaining to lack... More

My girldfriend and I stayed in this Hotel during 3 nights. At our arrival, the staff was unfriendly and, as indicated on their website, they do not accept credit cards. Instead you have to use the ATM located in the lobby. The hotel is old, not very well maintained and has been repainted tens of times. Floors are covered with... More

After reserving a room for one night online 2 weeks prior to arrival.... we were excited to go. when we arrived front desk was rude, asked us for ID and then denied us our reserved room because we were from new york... how can someone be denied if it was pre-reserved? they said they didn't serve in state people.... I... More

I really don't understand why there are people that have the nerve to rate this hotel/hostel as excellent! They must be friends with the owner. Also it's nonsense to remind people that they shoul'dn't expect much because it's a hostel. True, you can't expect luxury for this price, but even a hostel has to be clean! The only thing that... More
