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

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 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

Absolutely disgusting cockroaches were literally everywhere. We booked this room for my bachelorette weekend since it was the cheapest we could find. Cost me 120$ with all the charges. We opened the door to a 5 by 9 room with only a bed. There's 3 roach infested dirty bathrooms that the entire building shares. Looked like dry splattered puke on... More
