Equity Point New York @ Times Square  

Rooms are very small, we are requested to make your own bed, no TV or radio the room . The rooms smell humidity; if you stay in the 3rd floor the AC converters are very noice

Great location, subway just cross the street, blocks from Times Squre.

It was posted on booking.com that it is about $80 for a room, but the manager told us that is price per bed. I have never heard something like that in my life. That was cheating, and we was cheated badly. I would like to raise a redflag on this "hotel"

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I traveled just before summer so I was lucky to stay in a 3-person dorm all by myself! Location was perfect and it was also why I chose the place.

I'm not a big person but the bed was a bit too narrow for me.

The place was convenient for leisure because it is in the city and it is cheap. The design was so nice with vibrant colors!

i really enjoyed staying at Equity Point, the location was perfect, was worried that because it was off Times Square it would be noisey but it was a quite Hostel,well run,clean. The staff were helpful and accomodating. the free breakfast was great.also having my own locker in the room was great

there were a few problems with the hot water but management did resolve it quickly enough. i would have loved more light in the room, even little lights over the bed would have been great. all in all it was a good hostel though and i would recommend it

The portuguese guy was really helpfull, the bar was real nice, and bed was comfortable

The check ou was too early and also the check in was too late, they showed different times from booking.com, the hostel was really poor about activities, the shower wasnt working at moorning tha sucks

Excellent location Excelent price for the location Very friendly Quiet rooms close time square Close metro station I would go there again a million times.

Breackfast was a bit poor, but for that price i was not expecting a great breackfest anyway.

This place is one of the best hostels i've seen! I've travelled all around the world but hands down i'm so glad that i picked it! It's so hard finding a good hostel in NYC with prime location. This definitely was a good for value!

Excellent value for money, most convenient location, friendly staff, clean, good breakfast included in the price. Highly recommended for anybody that wants to make a city trip in Manhattan.

Location and price

I booked the hotel well in advance - almost 7 months before the trip. 2 weeks before the trip administration discussed the changing the hotel, we refused but we had to change the room for the last night which was much worse in comparison with the first one. The hotel changed its status of hostel instead of hotel in December, 2012 but it did not influence the price.

The hotel was everything they offerd in the website.

Excellent facility; clean with en-suite bathroom. Dowstairs lounge, bar, bfast area was inviting although did not have time to use more than for breakfast, which is included and ample. Location is very convenient.

Nothing

Great location, aircon/heating, good styling, ensuite

Computers all broken, internet very often broken, showers mouldy, rude staff (particularly the spanish middle aged lady), movie room dismantled, small bunk beds, attempted overcharging...

Location was great. Staff very friendly and helpful with directions and queries. Bedroom clean, warm and comfy. Breakfast was perfect. No complaints very happy with everything. I would recommend this to friends.

location

size of room

Location by Times Square was excellent

From the photos and description, I was under the false impression this room had two double beds, not two bunk beds!!! The mattresses were uncomfortable and we had to get out of the way when someone wanted to move around. The clerk behind the desk couldn't figure out the rate and he tried to convince me that he had to pass along the 10 percent commission charged by booking.com. I have never had to pay a commission that a website charges to a hotel! The only good thing about this hotel (and it's really a hostel) is the location.

It was perfect. It was cheap, convenient, friendly & delightful. I would stay there a million times.

They will hold your bags for you, checked in or not. But I discovered that my bag wasn't under lock & key. It is on a shelf in a hallway where people, if malicious enough, could attempt to take your belongings. My suggestions are to build a storage shelf, use their office instead or provide a lock & chain for your luggage & the current shelf they already have.

Excellent location just a minutes away from Times Square. Breakfast is very simple. Bathroom is clean. They keep your suitcase for free after check out. They provide towel and linens.

The room was very small, luckily we were 3 in a 4-people room, else there would have been no space at all. The room got very hot so we had to keep the AC really high. No soap provided.

Good location, front desk good service, breakfast accommodations

Bad semll in the room (cigarette), bad mattress, big noise from outside because the room was in front of the street section, manager of the hotel is not accomodative, phone and internet were down one night, photos of the hotel not changed (old photos)

The rooms are nice and cosy. The shower area was clean. The air conditioning worked just fine too

The Female receptionist would not let me use the phone to make a free call to the shuttle bus service I booked for my airport trip resulting in me having to use a taxi which cost me 85 dollars combined. I've never been to a hotel/hostel where this service has not been given. I even offered to pay.

Loved the colors used in the interior. Modern, different. The location is top, in 5 min walking youre in the centre of manhatten and the subway. Good beds, airconditioning and all verry clean. The bathroom is luxurios for a hostel. Also i like the breakfast. Yogurt, milk, toasted breds, fruits, coffee, croissants and more are unlimited available

They placed me in a wrong room, a girls room where al beds are taken. Lucky me this was the reason i met a beatiful girl from Argentina, we spent a happy time together. So at the end I am happy for this mistake :)

I paid about $224 for a cramped room with no phone, no shampoo, no soap, no robe as advertised. I was not aware that Hotel 41 had been converted into a hostel and was surprised to see young travelers lined up being given beddings by just one hotel clerk. The hotel did not look anything like the photos on the website and the positive reviews on which I based my choice to book this hotel was probably based on the former Hotel 41. I felt cheated having to pay so much for a budget room. I have always been happy with my bookings with booking.com but this was an exceptionally bad experience. There is a huge difference between a hostel and a hotel. Equity Point has a lot of nerve charging what it does for such terrible accommodations with no amenities.

Close to metro station, bus station and train station. In the centre of Manhattan. Perfect localization!!!

Small room with a view to a brick wall half meter away from a window. Lillte choice at the breakfast.

The location is excellent, rooms a bit small but then the location compensates any possible defect. Breakfast not flashing, but then again this is a budget hotel, staff very friendly, would definitely recommend.
