The location is it is a 10 minutes walk to to the Metro stations. Is nice but sometimes you feel like there are not helping at their best.

The hosts and employees were amazing, really polite and fun!

Leonardo, Brazil

Never stay here. This place is hell on earth. I have visited nicer prisons.

Grainne, United Kingdom

The location is really good and most of the personel was very nice and helpful! Bed Quality was good.

Irina, Switzerland

Chic neighborhood - Chinatown/Little Italy. Great front desk staff. Clean. Cheapest place to sleep I could find in Manhattan. Really gave the feel of what it was like to live in a Bowery Flophouse if you were ever wondering about that.

Howard, United States of America

The cost is what I feel I am willing to pay for any hotel room. Staff is accommodating and helpful when asked. Other customers were quiet.

Alan, United States of America

Cabins were small but comfy, perfect for city exploring or backpacking.

The staff were friendly. The location was excellent. The amenities were great for the price.

Thao, United States of America

Was a funky little hotel great vice and an awesome rooftop sitting/chill out area - rooms were great for the stay, as really it's only a bed and shower you need. Was clean and shared bathrooms were well looked after and clean also had shampoo conditioner and body wash if you had forgotten your own

Disappointing
- • Leisure trip

- • Original Cabin
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The room is super small, just like a cube. It never looks so spacious as the photos it shows. Rooms are comparted with wooden wall only. It's easy to be affected by noise. The overall environment is too dark. I could barely see anything even during daytime, not to mention at night. I don't know that's how they cut cost but it's not convenient at all. It looks moody and stylish but nope . It is not. I thought there is a rooftop bar or something but I realise there seems not. Though there is such a photo on their introduction. They charge everything even for storage no matter how long you put your luggage there. $10 for a day. Worst thing comes to my last day. I go back to hostel and wanted to get a uber /taxi to JFK airport. Staff suggested that there's a company collaborating with them that would offer 47 usd to JFK which is a good deal I guess. So I just took it. I gave them 12usd for deposit. But the car didn't come in 20min ...or even 30min. They told me it would come in 10-15min and what is it all about now? I wasted my time and money waiting for the car to come but it didn't arrive ... I just took uber to JFK which costs me extra for this and it couldn't go to JFK on time so I have missed my flight to Buffalo now. I mean ya traffic might not be your fault but you could tell me the truth that the car couldn't come on time so that I could make other plans right? I'm going to miss my flight and I have told u about that. Why could I even care about the 12 usd deposit while I couldn't even go to the airport on time? It doesn't have to come now as it's too late... the guy at the entrance is trying to help but I guess he / they could think at my siutuation that they will do things that are helping. My stay was ok I guess but it wasn't a good ending. I am disappointed.
눇The location is it is a 10 minutes walk to to the Metro stations. Is nice but sometimes you feel like there are not helping at their best.

눉See aboce
눇The bed was too small and hard There was (I assume) a homeless person sleeping in the common area when I woke at 5am for the toilet There are not enough toilets per floor (1 and 2 shower cubicles) I paid 115 for this for a night and 210 a night for a proper hotel with own bathroom etc by Times Square so it's not even great value for money

눉I paid for a private room, at extra cost obviously, but I was still joined with the other rooms and could hear everything. The city is very hot at the moment, but despite the fact I got a window room, the window could not be opened. There was no evident air conditioning, the heat was very uncomfortable.
눇Staff were very nice, location was good.

“Highly overpriced Hostel”

눉The room was highly overpriced. Aircon was broken, so it rained in our room on our bed. Bathroom very far away-you have to walk through the reception and lounge area to get there. Really tiny rooms and not very clean, very thin walls.
눇The location is really good and most of the personel was very nice and helpful! Bed Quality was good.

“This place should be called the "Museum of Miserable Living"”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Original Cabin
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The low priced "rooms" are dormitory. 40 beds in a big room, with partitions, open lattice ceilings on the partitions. One Toilet and two showers for the whole floor!!! Tiny bed, you can barely turn around in the little cubicle. It feels like the place was renovated back to 1946 so you can really get the feel of what it was like to live in 1946 in a dormitory cubicle. It really sucked back then and it still sucks.
눇Chic neighborhood - Chinatown/Little Italy. Great front desk staff. Clean. Cheapest place to sleep I could find in Manhattan. Really gave the feel of what it was like to live in a Bowery Flophouse if you were ever wondering about that.

눉I only chose the Bowery House as it's location was the best for my plans. The cabin system was surprising for me (it was my fault, I probably didn't read everything carefully) which I wouldn't have minded if the cabin have been bigger and comfortable. I barely had any space if I opened my luggage, and the bed wasn't long enough either, it was a quite uncomfortable night for such an amount of money, I kept waking up as I heard other guests packing, coming and going, and as there is no ceiling, the lights on the corridor were disturbing. Anyways, if you are staying just for one night and can find a good price, I think it's okay.
눇The bathroom was especially nice, it was clean and nicely decorated.
