Staying in this horrible hotel was a nightmare I had never experience anything like this there where bugs No windows it was dirty the rooms where the size of a closet you couldn’t close the door course you could asfíxiate it was so bad that I would call the health department it should be closed down. My friends and I couldn’t wait to leave... I want a refund But most of all it should be shut down not good for humans...

Luzgarda, United States of America

Was an awful experience, it was gross and the worst hostel I ever seen

Janike, Puerto Rico

The location is good, centrally located in Chinatown on a major street. Fairly easy access to public transportation and lower Manhattan is within walking distance. Staff was efficient and check-in and check-out was quick.

Economy, United States of America

Great priced and leinent staff Quite and clean for the most part. It's a decent stay for a few nights. And in Manhattan it is a definite steal!

Stephanie, United States of America

The hotels front desk receptionist Jay was awesome he accommodated my every need and was polite and very understanding. Great priced that's for sure

The room we got had a window which had so bad insulation that it was completely freezing. We had to sleep with our clothes on and jackets on top. Sheets full of hair and stains and my girlfriend found bedbugs and bites afterwards.
