  I understand this is one of the cheapest "hotels" in NYC but for 90 dollars a night they could at least clean the floor or the bathroom shower curtains. This place was tiny. I had enough room for my luggage in the room. The sheets smelled like they hadn't been cleaned. The blanket smelled like sweaty balls. The room had zero ventilation and the walls were paper thin so I could actually hear the the guy in the room over farting. The staff consistently started speaking on the phone and yelling in Chinese at about 7 am. The shower curtains literally smelled like someone had urinated all over them. I have stayed in a lot of terrible hostels. I lived in Vietnam for over a year but this hostel nearly takes the cake. I would pay 3 dollars for it on a good day. I could deal with everything, but they seriously need to clean this place. It seems all they do is spray the room with lysol without actually cleaning anything. We looked under the bed and it looked like it had never been swept. The mattress had mysterious stains all over it. The night stand was covered in the previous tenants food and drinks so we had to clean it prior to putting anything on it. When I arrived I waited for about 15 minutes for the front desk to get out of the shower. Then I was informed that if I wanted to pay with a credit card it would be a 3 percent charge. I asked if I could pay the next day, since I had already paid the deposit and he shouted at me informing me "you pay today!". Night staff is rude. Day staff is polite. The only thing that was good was the location and the fact that I wasn't bitten by bed bugs in my sleep.

  Decent place to stay. It's pretty much what you would expect for a cheap hotel in New York City. I didn't see any bugs, and there was coffee in the morning, so it was good enough for me

  This hotel is very affordable, but you get what you pay for. Restrooms were shared and a bit dirty, the room was tiny and stuffy, and the walls are very thin. That being said, the location was great, and it was cheap.

  Just a bed, towels provided and hot water in shared bathrooms, basic, courteous and helpful staff, free tea and coffee, basic Wi-Fi included. On second floor, not obvious from the street, Bowery. On the edge of Chinatown

  Stayed here while attending a music festival, excellent location to the green line, great place to rest your head if you plan to be busy the majority of the day/night.
